You are strongly encouraged to meet with your assigned adviser. If you have trouble scheduling an appointment with your assigned adviser due to availability or scheduling, you can contact them to find out about your options, or you may see another adviser.

Other types of appointments
Low scholarship
If you are currently on academic alert or academic warning, please complete the academic self-assessment survey prior to making an appointment.
ROTC, military & veterans
Students who receive benefits through the veterans education benefits office (VEBO) need adviser assistance with forms. The two most common are the Quarterly Enrollment Certification Request form and the Credit Evaluation form. You should make an appointment with your assigned advisor for help. If you are admitted into a department, please see your departmental advisers.
ROTC students competing for an ROTC scholarship must make an appointment with an adviser.
Reinstatement
If you have not yet declared a major, or have declared a major in the College of Arts & Sciences, and have been dropped for low scholarship, you will need to work with your assigned adviser who will help you file a petition for reinstatement. EOP, SSS, and CAMP-affiliated students should meet with an OMA&D adviser. For majors outside the College of Arts & Sciences, please check with the departmental adviser.
