COMM Connections

Welcome to the start of the Fall 2022 Semester!

There is so much going on around campus – be sure to check out the Student Involvement calendar so you don’t miss out on something - https://involved.unl.edu/ Continue reading…

 

ACADEMIC ADVISING

Advising appointments are available for meetings via In-Person or Zoom. This week those appointments are 30 minutes to help answer more questions about drop and add, scheduling, or class questions. Appointments will move to 45 minutes later in the semester. Visit MyPLAN to schedule an appointment. Instructions for connecting to the Zoom meeting are in your appointment confirmation email sent to your huskers.unl.edu email account.

I will be out of the office August 30 – September 5th – I will be taking my youngest daughter to college in New York State – if you need immediate assistance on an urgent issue while I am gone, please contact Tony Lazarowicz, Ph.D. Director of Academic Advising, 107 Oldfather | (402) 472-4190 | tlazarowicz2@unl.edu. Or you can email casadvising@unl.edu. Otherwise, feel free to schedule an appointment with me for after September 6th. All required advising appointments should be scheduled with me after September 12th!

If you need help identifying or connecting with other advisors or a career coach, contact the CAS Academic and Career Advising Center at casadvising@unl.edu or (402) 472-4190.

DROP-IN ADVISING

Drop-in advising is great for short questions about course information, grade option, completing forms and other things of that nature. Students should schedule an academic advising appointment to discuss degree plans and goal setting. Drop-in advising is available via zoom only, Tuesdays from 1- 3 p.m. and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. You will enter the Zoom waiting room at https://unl.zoom.us/my/casadvising and be seen in the order you entered. I will only be available for Tuesday drop-ins this week because of an unavoidable medical appointment on Wednesday!
