DROP-IN ADVISING – CHANGE FOR THIS WEEK

With priority enrollment this week, Drop-In Advising gets a little busier. Remember that this is a first come, first serve advising moment, so you might have to wait to meet with an advisor. 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, you will enter the Zoom waiting room at https://unl.zoom.us/my/casadvising and be seen in the order you entered.

Carmen’s Drop-Ins - Tuesday from 1- 3 p.m., Wed 10 a.m. – 12 p.m., and Friday 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
