    Walk-ins

    Students may walk-in at any time during office hours to be seen by an advisor. It is recommended that students refer to their advisor’s schedule via myWings to view dedicated walk-in hours as students that visit outside of these hours are subject to a longer wait period. Students with a scheduled advising appointment will have priority over students that visit outside of the dedicated walk-in hours.

    Appointments 

    Students have the option of selecting an in-person campus appointment or a virtual appointment* via phone or Zoom. Students should check their advisor’s schedule in myWings to view appointment availability. *Students selecting a virtual appointment should indicate in the notes section if they prefer a phone or Zoom appointment. The advisor will call the number provided or send a Zoom link for the appointment depending on meeting preference.

    Each advisor has a day where they will be working remotely. On these days, appointments and walk-ins for the appropriate advisor are only available through virtual methods. Students requesting an appointment should indicate if they would prefer a phone or Zoom appointment. Virtual drop-ins are available on remote days from 9 to 10:30 am and 2 to 3:30 pm.

  • Graduate Advising

    Graduate students are expected to meet as soon as possible with their assigned faculty advisor to determine appropriate course work for their desired major. During the initial advising conference, the faculty advisor will help the student (1) select the major which will lead the student to achieving career goals, (2) evaluate the student’s baccalaureate level course work to determine whether prerequisites for the major have been met, (3) plan a tentative program of study for the student to follow which will lead to graduation in the desired major, and (4) provide the student with a copy of this tentative program. The tentative program will be finalized when the student is fully admitted to the college.

    Students are provided with the names, telephone numbers and office location of their faculty advisor in their acceptance letter. Students with specific questions or concerns about university policies or regulations may visit the OASIS for more information.
