Fall 2024 Advising Schedule: August 26-December 20
When do I meet with an L&S Advisor vs. with the ISF Academic Advisor?
Students should meet with an L&S Advisor when they have questions related to: long-term course planning, overall graduation check, degree requirements outside of ISF (breadth, residency, minimum 120 units, etc.), Reduced Course Loads, unit ceiling, extra semesters, academic difficulty, major and minor exploration.
Students should connect with the ISF Academic Advisor when they have questions about the ISF major application process, ISF course offerings, checking ISF major progress, to address corrections on their Academic Progress Report for the ISF major requirements, clarification on ISF major requirements and policies, obtain signatures on forms required by L&S, and for class planning 1-2 semesters in advance.
Scheduled Appointments
Students may schedule a 20 minute, one-on-one appointment with Michelle to discuss topics such as: the ISF major application process, Course of Study planning, and to check their ISF major progress/do an ISF graduation check.
Students have the option for both Zoom and in-person appointments: Zoom appointments are available Monday-Friday and in-person appointments are available Monday-Wednesday. Please visit the following webpage to schedule an appointment: https://calendly.com/michellerh.
Drop-in Advising
Students may utilize drop-in advising hours to ask quick questions about their class schedules for the current and upcoming semesters, clarification on major requirements and policies, obtain signatures on forms, and other similar topics that may not require a 20 minute appointment. Drop-in advising will take place in 263 Evans Hall during the days and times below:
Tuesdays & Wednesdays, 1:30-3pm.
Please note that scheduled appointments will take priority over drop-in, should there be schedule appointments during these hours. Also note that drop-in advising hours are subject to change depending on demand and scheduling conflicts. If students have concerns about being able to schedule an appointment or attend drop-in advising, please contact Michelle.
