Drop-in appointments

Advising at the Learning Commons

Have a quick question for an academic adviser but you don't think it warrants a full advising appointment? All students are welcome to visit us at our drop-in times.

Mondays, 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm*
Wednesdays, 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
Thursdays, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Fridays, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm

Where: The McPherson Library Learning Commons, room 135h.

How to sign up: There will be a sign-up sheet on the office door where you can add your name. When it is your turn, the adviser will invite you into the office, so be sure to stay nearby.

*This drop-in time coincides with Career Services's career educator drop-in sessions, located next door in room 135g. If you're looking for help from both a career educator and an academic adviser, this is a great opportunity to attend a 2-for-1 drop in.
