About Drop-ins

The Office of Academic Advising offers Drop-in Advising to our matriculated undergraduate students for 1:1 academic advising on general degree requirement information, schedule verification or issues, registration questions, etc. 

Drop-in Advising is offered both virtually (preferred) and in-person during the add/drop (first 2 weeks of the fall and spring semesters) and during enrollment periods (in April and November). If it is not a drop-in day, please check out the other Advising Services we have available.

  • We use Microsoft Teams for virtual Drop-in Advising sessions. See "How to Sign-in" to get started.
  • No appointment is necessary. 
  • Students are seen 1:1 on a first-come, first-served basis, by major.
  • Due to high volume, it may be necessary to close Drop-in Advising early.
  • Drop-in hours are subject to change.
  • Sessions generally last up to 15 minutes (students interested in a longer meeting with an academic advisor should schedule an appointment).
