Advising Appointments
Students are now able to book appointments with our advising team using our new appointment management tool.
The link to book appointments is published on our website.
Students should prepare to choose the type of appointment they need – your first step in booking will be choosing the category of question you’d like to discuss with an advisor or member of our staff. Appointments are available Monday – Friday.
Virtual Front Desk
Our Virtual Front Desk will continue to operate as it has for the past several quarters. Staff will be available to help you navigate the website, connect you to important resources, and provide general assistance. Staff will admit one student at a time to the Virtual Front Desk – we appreciate your patience!
