There are THREE ways to access advising: 

Appointment, Drop-in, and Email.

Appointment Advising via Zoom

Advising appointment availability has been increased to accommodate student needs. You may schedule a Zoom appointment using Slug Success.

Appointment hours and availability can be found on the calendar above. Once you schedule an appointment using Slug Success you will receive an email with a link for your Zoom appointment. If it is your first time using Zoom we recommend downloading the app prior to your scheduled appointment time.

If you do not see any appointments available in Slug Success it means that all appointments are full, please scroll to the following week to view additional appointment availability.

 

Group Drop-in Advising via Zoom and in person

The EPS department will be offering Group drop-in advising using an online format. Students will sign in using a Zoom meeting link. They will be added to a waiting room and then added to the group advising session when the adviser is ready to meet with them. If needed a Zoom breakout room may be used for sensitive information. Drop-in advising is best for quick questions of a general nature.

Zoom drop-in is only available during scheduled drop-in hours. Please use the advising calendar for updated advising hours.
