UPDATE FOR FALL 2024

Due to reduced staffing, the MCD Biology Undergraduate Advising will be holding extremely limited drop-in times.

Global and Community Health, BS and Human Biology, BS majors should see the Global and Community Health Website for Global and Community Health, BS Major Advising.

You do NOT need to meet with your assigned advisor for drop-in times. Drop-in advising is normally a space for quick, mostly general questions. Please note that if your question or issue is more in-depth, you may be asked to schedule an appointment or if we can reach out to you via email at a later time. 

During "busy advising" times - i.e. Advising Week, Enrollment Week, the first or last week of the quarter - please try to be patient as we try to help as many students as possible. 

Most drop-in times are virtual. You will be placed into a virtual/Zoom waiting room until the Host/Advisor invites you in. There could be 1 or more students ahead of you.

Please use the MCD Biology Drop-in advising for:

• Quick questions about MCD courses 
• Questions about Major Qualification Criteria
• MCDB Appeals Process
• Questions about Petitions such as:
  • Course Repeat Petitions
  • Exceptions to Policy
• General Questions or referrals to Campus Resources

Please note - if your question is best suited for your assigned Advisor, you may be redirected during Drop-in to schedule an appointment or to email your questions to your advisor (See MCD Biology Undergraduate Advising Email for how to email your assigned advisor).  

The advisor may "lock" the meeting within 15 minutes of the ending time of the meeting to ensure we are able to help all students within our time limits for Drop-in.
