How to Connect with us?
International students can connect with an International Student Advisor through a scheduled appointment, available both in person and online.
Appointment
Appointments are up to 30 minutes long and provide dedicated one-on-one time with an advisor. They are the best option for students who:
- Have multiple questions
- Need support with immigration matters
- Would like assistance with academic planning or registration
- Need an advisor to review their individual situation in detail
How to Book?
Book your appointment through Advisor Connect.
In-person Appointments: Arrive at your selected campus at your scheduled appointment time.
Online Appointment: Join using the Teams meeting link provided by your advisor.
Please Note: Students who arrive more than 15 minutes late are marked as “no-show” and will need to book a new appointment.
Can't Make It to Your Appointment?
If you cannot attend your appointment, please cancel it as soon as possible so another student can use the timeslot.
If you are feeling unwell, please do not come to campus. Contact your advisor and they will arrange a virtual appointment instead.
