International Academic Advising

International Academic Advisors are faculty advisors who help students make important decisions about their academic and future career plans. By working with an advisor, students are able to make the connection between their academic interests, degree requirements, and career opportunities.

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.
