About CFANS Advising

Virtual Drop-in Hours

What are Virtual Advising Drop-ins? This is for quick, 10- to 15-minute questions you may want to ask any advisor without needing an appointment. For example, a quick review of classes or your class schedule, APAS review, petition questions, campus resource guidance, etc. 

Please visit our Virtual Support Room to check in for a drop-in appointment, make or change an appointment or get help: https://z.umn.edu/CFANSacademicadvising.

Students can also contact their advisor directly to set up a virtual meeting or phone call. Over the summer there will be no drop-in advising. You'll still be able to make an appointment with your academic advisor or you can get general assistance Monday-Friday from 8-4pm by going to the Virtual Support Room.
