Spring Drop-in Hours

What is Drop-In Advising

We know questions don’t always come up on schedule. That’s why we offer drop-in advising—no appointment needed.

Drop-in is a great option for quick questions that need immediate attention and typically take 15–20 minutes, like:

  • Can I swap this class before the deadline?
  • How do I drop a course today?
  • I have a registration hold—what should I do?

Drop-In Advising is first-come, first-served. Wait times may vary depending on the time of year. If your question is more complex—like changing a major, creating a schedule for the semester, or planning your full academic path—we invite you to schedule an appointment. But Drop-in can be a great place to start. We’ll listen, offer guidance, and help you schedule a follow-up if needed.

We’ll meet you where you are. If it’s a quiet time, we may be able to help with more in-depth questions right away.
