Scheduled Appointments
Scheduled appointments are one-on-one sessions to talk about things like the Creative Writing Minor, program planning, declaring the minor, completing the minor, how the minor works with your other programs, and other topics that require more time.
Students can book one week in advance of appointment. Since appointments are on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, new appointments for the next week should appear on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Appointments begin at the scheduled start time, not Berkeley time.
Tuesday 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Wednesday 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.

Drop-in Advising*
Drop-In Advising is a great way to meet with advisors when you have any quick and/or time-sensitive questions. Students meet with me in the order that they arrive. During busier advising times, there may be a wait. Have your Student ID# and questions ready! Be mindful other students may be waiting.
In Person Drop-in (in 512 UAB)
Students coming in for in-person drop-in will need to come to the 5th floor of UAB and check-in using a posted QR code, which will be on a sign in the lobby and a sign by my door. After checking-in via a Google Form, students should wait in the lobby area near my office. I will call students in the order they check-in. Please do not wait in the hallway in front of my office.
Remote Drop-in (on Zoom)
To access remote drop-in, please follow the links below to visit my Drop-in Advising Zoom Room. Note that the Zoom meeting room will only be open during the hours listed. Upon entering, students will be placed in a waiting room and allowed into the meeting room in the order that they enter.
