Academic Advising

 

How to Make an Advising Appointment

To schedule an appointment for academic advising, please visit our online scheduling system. 

  • If you are an Undergraduate student, you may meet with Kristel Oelke or Kacie Cadotte
  • If you are a Graduate student, you may meet with Adam Mael
  • If you are a SUGS or potential SUGS student, you may meet with Rachael Clarke

Available appointment times are colored blocks of time. You will see a phone icon or a person icon on an available appointment time. A phone icon means that the meeting can be held virtually through Zoom or by phone. A person icon will mean that you have the option of meeting in-person. See example below:

A Google Calendar invitation with a Zoom link, if applicable, will be sent to you.

Note: Please be aware of high traffic times, typically during the first three weeks of the term and during backpacking/registration. We encourage general visits outside of these peak times.

 

Virtual Drop-in Advising:

Undergraduate students only, Fall and Winter terms only

  • Drop-in Advising is meant for quick questions and are no more than 15 minute virtual meetings through Zoom. If the meeting takes longer than 15 minutes, we will ask you to schedule a follow-up appointment.  

  • Drop-In Advising will be available during the first week and peak times during the semester. You will be able to see drop-in advising availability on the online scheduling system.
