How to Meet with an Advisor
Advisors are here to help CAS majors and minors from IntroDUCKtion to graduation. To support your varied needs, CAS Advising offers two types of advising connection points:
- Scheduled
- Drop-in
How Scheduled Appointments Work
Appointments are 30 minutes long.
Scheduled appointments are great for planning your undergraduate journey, exploring majors and minors, reviewing class options and looking for opportunities outside of the classroom such as experiential learning.
Be sure to schedule your appointment early (during weeks 2-5). Scheduled appointments are available in person, virtually and over the phone.
CAS Advising becomes drop-in only during weeks 1, 8 and 9 for registration support. Visit our drop-in hours if you have an urgent question or need support with class scheduling.
How Drop-in Works
Drop-in is intended for quick questions (15 minutes or less). At certain times of each academic term, advisors only take drop-ins so they can prioritize registration and urgent requests when a deadline occurs before the next available appointment.
Drop-in is first-come, first-served. In-person and virtual advising are both available! Drop-in availability varies by day and is organized by CAS division and major. If you’re not sure what division and/or major you are in, find your answer here.
