Meet with an Advisor

Whether you have questions about classes, majors, degree requirements, or your next steps, we're here to help. Meet with an academic advisor to develop an academic plan, explore your options, and stay on track toward your goals.

University College offers both scheduled advising appointments or virtual drop-in advising, depending on the time of the semester. Virtual drop-ins are available during peak advising periods to provide students with greater access to advising support when demand is highest. Below, you'll find information about when each advising option is available, how to schedule an appointment or join a virtual drop-in, and how to prepare to make the most of your advising experience.

University College (UC) offers both virtual and in-person advising appointments Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM– 4:00 PM (CST).

  • Appointments open on Fridays two weeks in advance.
  • If all times are full, check back daily for possible same-day openings or appointment cancellations.
  • UC students can schedule through the Navigate360 Student App (instructions provided below).
  • If you experience issues with the app for scheduling an appointment, call 225-578-6822 for help.

Best way to prepare for an appointment:

  • Review your Academic Progress in Workday Student.
  • Write down your questions.
  • Consider your academic and career goals.
  • Bring a list of courses you're interested in.
  • Speak first with Financial Aid and Scholarship if you are considering dropping a course and being enrolled in less than 12 hours.
  • Have any required forms ready.
  • Arrive (or log in) a few minutes early.
  • Be ready to take notes and ask questions.
