Academic Advising Options

The Virtual Advising Center is a great way to contact your advisor if you have a quick question or the advising office isn't open.

Ask a Question

Peer Advising is a time to talk with another student in one of our majors. This is a great option if your not sure what questions to ask!

Peer Advising Upon Request

Appointments are better for more detailed information such as individualized quarter by quarter plans, students experiencing academic difficulties, or more complex questions.
