What can an Academic Advisor help with?
- Your major, degree requirements, course selection, and career ideas
- Understanding your options dropping/adding a course, withdrawing from the term, changing to pass/fail
- Campus resources such as tutoring, counseling, advising for pre-health careers, getting involved with student organizations, or acquiring experience in your career interest area.
Gaining experience - Studying abroad, working/volunteering and internships, or learning specific skills like a language, communication techniques, or leadership.

Drop-in Advising
- Important Guidelines
- Appropriate drop-in reasons
- Reasons not suitable for drop-ins
- Drop-ins location and hours
- Drop-in meetings are for quick questions and will be limited to 15 minutes max.
- It is possible you will not see your assigned academic advisor during drop-ins.
- Check our Frequently Asked Questions page first. You may find the answer to your question there.
An appropriate drop-in reason could include:
- Quick verification of course selection
- Quick questions about Course Search & Enroll
- Quick L&S academic policy clarifications
- Quick questions about campus resources
For longer discussions such as:
- Four-year course planning
- Switching majors or academic paths
- General academic concerns
- Personal issues (University Health Services and Dean of Students may be particularly helpful resources for this)
please schedule a meeting with your assigned academic advisor or connect with them via email.
Drop-in advising will resume in the fall 2025 semester. More details will be posted in September.
