Covid-19 Update

Winter quarter, most offices will be open for in-person services Monday and Thursday, 8:30am-3:30pm, and Tuesday and Wednesday, 8:30am-6:00pm. On Friday, offices will be available online via Zoom Virtual Lobbies. For more information, see our list of On-Campus Student Services.

Academic Advising

Advising is a collaborative partnership between you and your advisor. Your advisor can teach you how to find information to make the most of your college experience. In your first advising meetings, you will create a plan together for courses and/or a degree based on your educational goals. Your advisor can connect you to a network of resources and support services whether you are facing obstacles or just need more information.  It is suggested to meet with your advisor once per quarter.
