Drop-in advising sessions are for quick 10-15 minute questions. Students are seen on a first-come, first-serve basis. Topics may include:

  • Adding / Dropping a course
  • Course Schedule

If your situation requires more in-depth support, please schedule an appointment through Spartan Connect or by emailing your assigned advisor directly.

The Exploratory Student Success team only offers drop-in advising hours during the scheduled posted times. Advisors may not be able to accomadate a student outside of their drop-in hours without an appointment. The student will be asked to schedule a future appointment or attend the next posted drop-in hours.

You will not be able to get your advising hold removed by attending drop-ins!
