Please do not sign up for advising until after you have attended an information meeting and have narrowed down your top 2-3 program choices. If you are still confused about how to start, you may want to attend another information meeting. 

Sign in for advising here. Currently, all advising is by phone or zoom on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10 am to 12 pm and 2 pm to 4 pm. You may note on the form when signing in if you prefer a zoom session instead of a phone call. 

Step 3: (Optional) Study Abroad Application Workshops

Do you know your first choice program and have verifed that you meet all program requirements?

Then, RSVP here  to attend an Application Workshop.
