Office Hours

Academic Advising Services

The College of Art and Design Student Services office is open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., and is located on the first floor of Frank E. Gannett Hall adjacent to the RSC Desk and the MircoMart.

To comply with physical distancing protocols and remote staffing requirements, all academic advising services (individual appointments, walk-in hours, and form submissions) are being conducted remotely via phone, email, and/or Zoom meetings.

In addition to scheduled one-on-one appointments, Academic Advisors will be available each week for virtual walk-ins as listed in Starfish. Virtual walk-in hours are for urgent concerns, or to answer a truly quick question or two. We ask that all other advising needs (including year-level advising) be addressed in prescheduled one-on-one advising appointments.
