Quick Question Hours

Quick Question Hours are only offered during the first days of classes (week 1) and registration week (week 8).

Quick Question advising meetings are intentionally designed to be "quick" (10-15 min) and for issues that have easy solutions and do not require a full appointment slot during peak registration times. If you anticipate needing more time with an advisor, consider booking a Schedule Ahead Appointment or Same-Day Appointment.
