CNAS Undergraduate Academic Advising Center Updates
December 22, 2022
Based on the student feedback we received on a survey sent out to all students, we have made some slight updates to our process for scheduling Express Advising sessions and increasing in-person availability. Please be sure to review the information and instructional video below for more details.
Students can no schedule both Express Advising sessions and regular appointments up to 10 days in advance. But please remember that Express Advising sessions continue to be quick 10-minute Zoom advising meetings to discuss basic questions or issues. Regular appointments are required for questions or issues that may require more time. For sample topics to be discussed at either an Express Advising session or through a regular appointment, please review this guide.
We'd also like to remind you that to meet safety guidelines for both students and staff, students attending in-person appointments may be asked to wear a mask. Please be sure to check at the reception desk when you check in for your appointment. For in-person appointments, we ask that you check in at the front window of the Advising Center at 1223 Pierce Hall at least 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment.
Kind regards,
CNAS Undergraduate Advising Staff
