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.

Wednesday 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.*
Thursday 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.*

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 the summer all drop-in advising is via Zoom, not in-person. 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.
Monday 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. – online via Laura’s Zoom Drop-in*
Thursday 2:00 – 4:00 p.m – online via Laura’s Zoom Drop-in*
