Meeting with an Advisor

Zoom Drop-in Sessions
Every Tuesday - Thursday
11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. PST

How to join:

  • At the meeting time, join the Zoom drop-in session. Please note that if you leave the waiting room you will lose your place in the queue.
  • If you see the message “the meeting is locked by the host” this means that the drop-in session is not yet open, or has reached capacity and is closed until the next session.

What to expect once you enter the Drop-in Advising session:

  • You’ll enter a waiting room where you’ll remain until it is your turn. When it is your turn Advising staff will welcome you then send you to a breakout room where you will meet with an Academic Advisor.
  • Have your questions and student number ready. Stay attentive to the Chat window on Zoom, as we may use it to communicate with you.
  • If your query is complex, you will be offered an advising appointment.
  • Leave the meeting and close/quit Zoom after your drop-in session ends.

Advisors can still be reached via email; appointments are online or by phone only.
Online or phone appointments can also be booked through the appointment website.

For quick questions an advisor can often help you by email. We do our best to have questions answered by an advisor within 1 - 2 business days, or, when necessary, forward them to a more appropriate office.

When emailing please provide:

  • Your name
  • Your student ID
  • Your program
  • Your year level
  • The subject you'd like to discuss

Email an advisor

Advisors are available for 30 minute appointments at the following times:

  • Monday: 1:00pm to 4:00pm
  • Tuesday through Friday: 10:00am to 11:00am and 1:00pm to 4:00pm

Advisors do their best to keep these appointment hours. However, unexpected conflicts in their schedules may arise. If an advisor is unable to keep an appointment the office will inform you by email.
