Still have a question? This is how you can reach us:
Due to the high volume of students attending drop-in advising, advisors will not be meeting with those joining to ask about processing times or those requesting an expedite. For more information about current processing times, please review our website. If your request is outside of processing times, you can submit a report to our office online. Our team will review this information and follow-up with you to provide an updated timeline for the request or guidance on next steps.
Have a quick question? No appointment needed! ISS offers virtual drop-in advising:

It is not possible to book a drop-in appointment & availability will only show during drop-in times.
