📢 Temporary Advising Scheduling Update

We’re still here to support you! 💚 Academic Advising appointments continue to be available in person and remotely, but a temporary scheduling system issue may make things look a little different when booking.

💻 Looking for a remote appointment? Select Academic Advising (Virtual) as your reason, then choose In Person when prompted. Your advisor will follow up with remote meeting information.

🏫 Prefer in person? Select Academic Advising (In-Person) and schedule as usual.

Thanks for your patience while this issue is being resolved! 🦉💚
