No Walk-ins this summer
**Please call to set up appointments for the summer. We can not guarantee that an advisor will be available to meet with you if you walk-in. Walk-ins will resume this autumn quarter.**
Walk-ins are blocks of time when we see students on a first-come, first-served basis. Walk-ins are limited to 15 minutes maximum. Please schedule an appointment if you need more time. Walk-ins are intended to help alleviate short-term issues, not for long-term planning.
Appointments: Call 614.292.1175
**Our reception office (311 Bricker Hall) is only open 20 hours a week during the summer. Every effort will be made to answer your call. If we are not currently avaiable, please leave a message and we will call you back ASAP**
Appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes on the hour and half-hour.
Appointments should be scheduled for long-term planning conversations, major issues that require discussion, curriculum planning and/or revisions, and career planning discussions. Please do not schedule an appointment for quick questions: come to walk-ins, e-mail, IM, or call us.
Please check in for appointments at 311 Bricker Hall. If no one is in that office, then check in with the advisor.
