International Academic Advising

During Drop-in Advising, students can drop or change classes, submit paperwork, submit requests (vacation quarter, reduced course load), and are able to ask urgent questions that cannot wait for an appointment.

You can join the queue for Drop-in Advising up to 15 minutes before the beginning of each session by asking the Front Desk in International Education (PUB 9302) or joining the Zoom link below.

Appointments are posted each Wednesday by 6:00 PM for the following week.

You can check other advisors’ appointments by clicking on the International Education tile in Starfish.

Topics such as academic planning, transfer planning, personal issues, academic status, and more can be discussed during a scheduled appointment with an advisor. Follow the instructions below to schedule an appointment:
