NOTE: Please be aware that the Virtual Drop-In Hours via Zoom will be an open space to conduct group advising sessions online. Anyone with the link below can enter the Zoom space at any time, so it’s not the space for personal conversations. If you have general questions, the “Zoom Group Online Advising Hour” is the place to be. (Schedule an appointment on Advisor Link for more personal conversations.) You can use Zoom through your web browser or download the app.
Note Regarding FERPA, student privacy, and virtual advising:
We are offering students the opportunity to conduct advising via videoconferencing, but must convey that this method does make ensuring FERPA privacy difficult. Advisors will conduct video advising in a private location, and recommend that students do the same to limit the amount of information which could be overheard by others in the vicinity. By agreeing to video conference-advising, students are confirming they understand this situation.
