Drop-in Advising*
Drop-In Advising is a great way to meet with advisors when you have a time-sensitive question or a few quick questions. During in-person drop-in, students will arrive at 295 Evans Hall and meet with me in the order they arrive. 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. Have your Student ID# and questions ready! Be mindful that other students may be waiting.
