Setting You Up for Success

During the summer term, we are open for advising, with adjusted Friday afternoon hours. From June 6th through August 12th, the office will close at 1:00 p.m. most Fridays. In addition, advising will be closed at various times due to New Student Orientations and other summer events. Please be sure to call or email to confirm our hours before coming in for advising.
