Below are this week's advising updates:

While classes are shifting to exclusively on-line instruction on March 30th, I remain available for advising meetings now and in the future, by appointment. I will not be holding walk-in hours or in person appointments for the remainder of the semester, but in our appointment I look forward to helping you navigate a successful finish to Spring semester, plan next semester’s classes, and stay on track to earn your degree. We can meet in the following ways:

• Zoom (on-line video/audio or phone) – after you schedule your meeting, I will send you instructions for getting connected. You do not have to have a video and audio connection, but it would be ideal for the best communication including screen sharing. You can also call in using Zoom if you do not have access to a computer or device.
• E-mail – prior to our arranged appointment time, e-mail me your questions from your @huskers.edu account. I will respond to your initial questions, then we can exchange messages throughout our allotted time. If we run out of time, we can schedule a follow up. Continued emailing outside of your appointment time may have delayed response due to an increase in email traffic, but I will respond as quickly as possible.

Your appointment can be scheduled as usual in MyPLAN, or by calling the Academic and Career Advising Center at (402) 472-4190. Please identify the format you would like to use for our meeting, and I’ll send you any necessary instructions or links to get us connected.

If you are experiencing a fever, cough, or any other symptoms of illness, please do not come to campus. Instead, call the Academic and Career Advising Center at (402) 472-4190 to either cancel your appointment or reschedule it as a phone, email, or on-line appointment. Thank you!
