Phone Advising
Whenever possible, we highly recommend students make in-person appointments because this is the most efficient mode of advising. However, students may request phone advising if they have circumstances that prevent them from being able to meet in-person.
Please note the following guidelines regarding phone appointments:
1. Appointments are a maximum of 30 minutes
2. Your advisor will call you for the appointment. Please do not call our office.
3. Following your appointment, please complete an evaluation of your session (available here).
