Meet with your Academic Advisor

Meet with a Professor during their office hours

  • Did you know your professor’s hold “office hours” – which is time outside of class where they are available to meet with you to provide support for class. Professors include these dates, times, and preferred methods of communication on their syllabus. Make sure to read that over and figure out if you need to make an appointment.
  • Remember, your professors work in a college setting because they care about your academic journey. It can be hard to ask for help, but they also want to see you succeed!
  • To earn credit: You’ll complete the Self-Report form after you meet and include the date you met, their name, and email address.
