💬Drop-In Advising

When to use drop-ins:

  • Time-sensitive or stressful issues
  • S/U form signatures

Drop-in schedule:

  • 📅 Monday–Friday, 4–5 p.m. (PT)

🎓 Lifting Your Registration Hold

Continuing students (fourth term and beyond) with a cumulative GPA above 2.5 must meet with their advisor at least once each academic year (fall, winter, or spring). For the other two terms, you may submit an academic plan for advisor review instead of meeting.

  • Seniors: We strongly recommend scheduling an appointment to stay on track for graduation.
  • Students on academic warning or probation: You are required to meet with your advisor.

To submit your course plan:

  1. Check the Schedule of Classes and choose your courses.
  2. Confirm you meet all prerequisites.
  3. (Corvallis campus students) Add your courses to your cart and ensure there are no time conflicts.
  4. Submit your plan using this form.
