Extended Express Academic Advising Hours

The preferred method to meet with your advisor is during a full appointment. You can find details on scheduling a virtual appointment in the Academic Advising tab.

Virtual Express Advising is available weekly as well as during high demand points in the semester for quick questions or time-sensitive registration issues.

Virtual Express Advising is available using an online chat platform which can be accessed from the button below. Please note that express advising is only available during the stated drop-in hours which are in central time – we cannot respond to any chat messages received outside of our scheduled drop-in hours. Students will be helped in the order in which they join the queue.
