You will need to fill out the form posted in the Zoom waiting room to see an advisor. No password required.
How It Works:
- Drop-in advising will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis. This means you may meet with someone other than your assigned advisor.
- Students will meet one-on-one with an advisor in 15-minute intervals.
- Advisors can assist with questions related to Human Biology major advising or courses needed for health careers.
To discuss topics other than fall classes, please schedule a 30-minute individual advising appointment. Individual appointments will become available for scheduling starting on September 4th.
