Advising Appointments
Some questions require a longer conversation to discuss available options. If you need to talk about one of the topics listed below, schedule an appointment with your adviser in Starfish or email them to arrange a meeting if there is no option to schedule an appointment.
- Schedule planning
- Discussion about studying abroad
- Questions about changing majors
- Academic difficulty
- Internships
- Concurrent majors
- Planning for a minor
- Faculty Senate petitions
- Changes in academic goals
- Anything that will take more than ten minutes
Note: Scheduled appointments are based on each individual adviser's availability. If an appointment appears on your adviser's Starfish calendar, it indicates that your adviser is available at that time. All appointments are scheduled based on Eastern time zone times. If you live outside of the Eastern time zone, please be aware of the time difference when scheduling your appointment.
Plan ahead for your appointments. Advising appointments fill up quickly during the registration timetable. If you wait until the last minute to make an appointment, you may not be able to meet with your adviser prior to your registration date. If that occurs, please scroll down to "Consult" in the Academic Advising Basics for guidance on choosing courses and how to plan your schedule. You can always review your schedule with your adviser after your registration date.
