At HLS, our advisors are here to help you achieve your academic goals and stay on track to graduate with a degree that will ensure you are globally ready.

When you don′t know where else to turn, we′ll help you find what you need—whether we have the answers or know where to find them.

Current Student Appointment Scheduler (SAS)

HLS Advising Drop-In Hours

HLS advising offers regular optional drop-in hours each week. These online drop-ins are good for more pointed questions that take no more than 10-15 minutes to answer. Some good topics include:

  • Double checking your enrollments
  • Adding a minor in an HLS area
  • Troubleshooting permissions
  • Checking prerequisites for a course

Drop-ins work on a first come, first serve basis. Note: Advisors will stop letting people into the zoom drop-ins 10 minutes prior to the end of their drop-in block (normally 2 hours). 

These optional drop-ins are not a good mode for answering more complex questions, such as long-term planning, enrollment planning, adding or dropping a major, planning for studying abroad, or completing ROTC forms. Those types of conversations benefit from a longer, more focused meeting. Please schedule a regular appointment with an HLS advisor (George Andrei, Olga Bueva, Liz McHugh, and Dale Spicer) for these meeting topics.

Normally, the HLS advisors will offer online drop-ins weekly during the following times, found in the Student Appointment Scheduler:

  • Tuesday 1-3
  • Friday 9-12 and 1-3

We look forward to helping you with your advising needs!
