Have a question for your advisor?
Visit Student Hub to meet with your major or minor advisor to address all of your needs!Spring 2026 Center Drop-In Advisement Hours
For quick questions (10-15 minutes), you can visit our weekly Drop-In Advisement hours in our A&S Center for Academic Success (see directions below)! We tend to cap the number of students who we can see based on the number of advisors present with the assumption that each student will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Students will be seen first come first served.
Drop-In's are not the best option for any students who would wish to discuss a future degree plan in detail, academic standing (like probation or a return from suspension) or more in-depth questions that might require additional time. If your appointment reason isn't suited for Drop-Ins, we can always help you schedule a full 30-minute appointment with an advisor for a later date or you can do so via Student Hub. Needs that are best served during Drop-In support could be: requesting overrides, reviewing registration errors, discussing the dropping and adding of a course, adding a minor or concentration, or doing a quick progress checks.
Drop-In hours will begin the first week of classes, January 20th, and will run weekly until May 15th.
Students must attend drop-in hours offered by their majors or minors on days and times listed below so that we can best serve you (subject to change):
| MONDAYS | TUESDAYS | WEDNESDAYS | THURSDAYS | FRIDAYS |
| 9:00-11:00am | No drop-ins | No drop-ins | Communication | Biochemistry Chemical Biology Chemistry Criminology Mathematics Sociology Statistics | Astrophysics Biology Physics Psychology |

Where are we?
Our advisors have their offices in the departments of the students they serve, but ASCAS is our "hub" and you can always ask our center where to go for your individual needs.
