Academic Advisor Walk-In Hours

Academic advising assignments depicted below are for non-first year SSHA students. All first-year students are advised within the Bobcat Advising Center.

*Academic advisor availability is on a first-come, first serve basis (there may be a wait time, so your patience is greatly appreciated).

**If your academic advisor is not available on a day/time that works with your schedule, you may meet with any available academic advisor for assistance.

***There is no guarantee students will be seen if they show up for walk-in hours in the last 15 minutes of scheduled walk-in hours.
