Advising Hours

Advising is currently remote

• Drop-in Advising: Review the calendar below to find the drop-in time blocks. Drop-in is limited in the summer. Click on the event to review additional details such as the Zoom link.

• Advising Appointments: Book 30 minute Zoom appointments with the Undergraduate Advisor on Navigate/Slug Success. Appointments must be made 24 hours in advance. If you are not currently proposed or declared in Sociology, please select the Academic Planning/Guidance, Choosing/Exploring Major/Minor, or Declaring/Adding/Changing Major/Minor as the appointment reason when scheduling your appointment. Please note: I will often have night time appointments available.
