Drop-in Advising
In-Person Advising
In-Person drop-in advising sessions are available by using QLESS or check in at the 103 Central Square front desk. We recommend to attend drop-ins early in the day if possible, as lines fill quickly. Email responses will be significantly delayed in September due to high volume, and we recommend drop-ins as the quickest way to connect with an academic advisor during this time.
The last advising drop-in session for the day will begin a half hour before the indicated end time.
