Advising for Majors in the Biological Sciences

Students 2nd year-4th Year

Students majoring in Biology, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology, Genetics, Microbiology, Neuroscience, Ocean Science, or Plant Biology are required to meet with their assigned academic advisor once each academic term to be advised and cleared for class registration.  Advising appointments are made available within the first month of each semester and will continue until the last day of class. Check SAGE.

During intersession and Summer term, students are encouraged to email to schedule an appointment.

When classes are in session for fall and spring, Drop-in Hours are available for students with specific questions or concerns. Please note these hours are not for formal advising and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Hours are subject to change.
