Appointments

New Student Advising

New Student Web/Video Appointment: meet with your advisor face-to-face to review curricular requirements, course schedule, and discuss academic plan.

The meeting will be held through Microsoft Teams, and you will receive an email confirmation which includes a link to the meeting. The meeting may also appear on your calendar.

Please answer if you receive such a notification at your scheduled appointment time.
