Sometimes you may need to see an advisor during a time when your assigned advisor is not available. For those occasions, faculty advisors are available in the Advising Center in Room 235 of the Sullivan Tech Center, throughout the week during fall and spring semesters. While it is always preferable to work with your assigned advisor, who knows you and your program, advisors in the Advising Center can help you with most of your advising needs. The Advising Center is also a good place to go for information on academic programs or campus events.
