In preparation for the upcoming fall semester, the advising staff will be holding Virtual Drop-In Office Hours for the next couple of weeks.  This will be done using the Zoom application. Advisors will be sending emails to their individual students with the Zoom link information.  Virtual Drop-In Office Hours are not for future planning purposes, but for any quick questions or registration concerns. Please check your email frequently to find this information.  If you have questions regarding this new process, feel free to contact your academic advisor.
 

**Update to drop/add deadline**

Please be mindful that the university changed the drop/add deadline for full-session classes to seven days. That change takes effect this fall.

Full-Session Classes Deadline: The last day to drop or add a full-session class without a W for this term is Tuesday, August 25th.

First-Session Classes Deadline: The last day to add or drop a first-session class without a W is Monday, August 24th.

We suggest any drop or add be conducted by 4:30 pm to be safe.  For more information about registration deadlines, please see the calendar on the Registrar’s website.

Management students, mark your calendars!
