Fall 2020 Update: For the Fall 2020 semester, all advising - including drop-in and individual appointments - will be conducted on-line. Unless otherwise indicated, meetings will be through Zoom. If an alternative method is preferred, please contact your international advisor. For more information about our Fall 2020 Virtual Office, see our Service Announcement.
International Center will be holding drop-in hours (no appointment needed) according to the following schedule. Drop-in advising will be done virtually using Zoom and is ideal for quick questions and meetings of about 5 minutes or less. Since virtual advising is done on a first-come, first-serve basis, wait times may vary. International Center staff may direct you to schedule an individual appointment with an advisor for more complex situations.
