Get Started
Drop-in Advising
In-Person Advising
Check in at the Department of Economics front desk located at Vari Hall, Room 1110. Drop-in advising is first-come, first-served. 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.
