What are the date and hours for advising? Do I need an appointment?
Advising will take place during a four-week period. For the spring semester advising begins in late October, for the fall semester in late March. Advising hours are posted on the Undergraduate Advising Calendar. You will find Ms. Townsend, your Academic Advisor, in 3006 Engineering Building II Hall. We do our best to keep these hours, but sometimes we may need to be flexible. No appointment is necessary. You should also review the Registration and Records Academic Calendars for important dates throughout the semester.
