In light of critical processing requirements and increased caseloads during the pandemic, we will adjust our services for June and July.
On Fridays, the office will focus on internal operations for staff to invest time on casework, document issuance, and related coordination with students and departments. While we are closed for phone calls, drop-ins, and routine inquiries on Fridays, we will remain responsive to emergencies. Drop in advising opportunities are available Monday-Thursday, review the information below for specifics.
