Current students can schedule an appointment via Navigate or visit us during Drop-in Advising hours.

Drop-in Advising
(estimated time 15-20 minutes)

Drop-in Advising times are focused on immediate needs and for issues that can be addressed in less than 20 minutes. 

Reasons you might use Drop-in Advising could include:

  • Questions about assessment scores and classes.
  • Scheduling for next semester or current semester – get access code.
  • Initial questions about add/drop/withdrawal
Drop-in Advising Hours

Drop-in in-person meetings are available at the Academic Advising Center (AAC), Room 1-401, Monday through Friday between 8:15 a.m. and 3 p.m. Students will meet with the AAC staff member assigned to drop-in appointments that day.

If you would like to meet with a specific advisor or have questions that might take longer than 20 minutes to answer, it will be best to schedule an appointment. See the instructions below on how to schedule your appointment through Navigate.
