Unlike many of our colleagues in the education field, summer time is our busy time. The Office will be spending much of its time helping incoming Freshmen (Class of 2013!) with Orientation and Registration. As a result, open advising appointments and walk-in hours may be limited.

When will advisers have appointment times available?

Due to both new high school student and transfer student orientations, the summer months are our busiest time of the year. We strongly suggest that all current students who want to see their adviser over summer do so during the month of July. While we will have appointments during June and August, they will be especially limited. Remember that we book appointments up to two weeks out.  We will NOT have regular Walk-In hours.

I have a question - how do I get it answered?

The best first-step would be to email your assigned adviser (or if you do not have an assigned adviser, please email us at: socialsc@umn.edu). Please see our Staff List (to the immediate right) for our email addresses. Remember to include your first and last name, as well as your Student ID number and please give us two to three days to get back to you. While every effort will be made to get back to you as soon as possible, remember that we may not be able to do so as quickly as we would like to.

I would like to see my adviser - how do I do that?

The best first-step would be to call the Office at (612) 626 – 7714 to see what appointments are available or to see what Walk-In hours there are. You are also encouraged to use ULook to book open appointments. In general, open advising appointments will be in the afternoon hours during the summer. Remember that advisers cannot schedule appointments via email.
