Individual Advising Appointments (virtual)

Below is a list of advisors along with a link to their appointment pages. Please schedule appointments at least 24 hours in advance. After you schedule an appointment with an advisor, you will receive an email with a link to a Zoom meeting. All individual advising appointments are currently conducted over Zoom.

Following our application deadlines, individual advising is paused for a few weeks for application review. If you do not see appointments following a deadline, check back in a few weeks.

Preparing for your appointment:
