• On Wednesdays, the advisors are available for scheduled appointments until 6:30 p.m. The last appointment scheduled is at 5:30 p.m. 
  
• Know the name of your academic advisor when requesting an appointment so you can be scheduled with the right person. If you are not a student and need to see an advisor, please let scheduling know your program of interest.

Waiting until the last moment may put your in at risk of missing an important deadline.
