Walk-in CECS Advising
Walk-in advising is intended for brief guidance to move you forward in your academic process. Walk-in appointments are seen on a first-come-first-served basis and are limited to 10-15 minute sessions. Walk-in hours are on most Tuesdays and the first week of classes from 9am-3pm. Students can expect long wait times during peak registration times.
Beginning Fall 2021, students will have the option for virtual walk-in hours through Zoom or Face to Face Walk-In Advising hours in ENG 107. You can enter the Zoom waiting room during established walk-in hours by scanning or clicking the QR code.
