Advising
Academic Advising
With summer instruction being moved online or to other alternative learning formats, resources are also going digital to help meet the needs of our students. Academic advising will continue during the usual hours of operation for each respective advising office.
- All academic advising services will occur remotely (phone, email, video).
- If you need to schedule an appointment with your academic advisor for registering for courses or any other reason, please contact your academic advisor from you UK email address.
- If you have any questions regarding your academic situation, please reach out to your academic advisor from your UK email address so that they can connect you with the appropriate resource.
