Drop-In Hours

Students can drop-in during specific hours to see the Academic Advisor that is on duty to ask quick questions. These meetings are usually no more than 15 minutes long and can be subject to a wait time.

We are available for the following drop-in advising hours:

  • Monday and Tuesday 9:00am-11:30am
  • Wednesday and Thursday 1:00pm-4:00pm

In-Person Drop-Ins:

    • Click here to access the Wellstar Advising Drop-Ins Team 

    2. Sign-In to See an Advisor

    • You must reply to the Advising post in the Teams channel with your major to check-in for virtual drop-in advising. Please read all instructions in the Advising post first.  
    • If for any reason you need to leave before being helped, please delete your reply to the Teams post.

    3. How Will the Advisor Start My Meeting?

    • An advisor will call you in Teams to start your drop-in advising meeting. If you do not answer after two calls, you will be considered a no show and will need to put yourself back into the advising queue with a new reply to the Teams post.

    * Please note, that students should only check-in during designated drop-in advising hours. To ensure that our office can serve everyone effectively, any check-in's submitted outside of designated drop-in hours will be deleted.

  • Although advising is not compulsory after the first year, we strongly encourage you to see an advisor. We can provide information you may not be able to garner on your own, saving you time and frustration.

  • Drop-in advising is a 10-minute advising session on a first-come, first-served basis.

    Services available during drop-in advising: questions or information on the current or upcoming semester, questions on prerequisite courses, and providing students with resources for growth and autonomy in the registration process.

  • A gated major means a minimum GPA requirement, prerequisite courses, or both are needed for admission into the program. Therefore, please meet with an advisor to discuss program admission requirements, courses for each semester, and graduation progression. It is crucial to meet with us to ensure you are not applying to your major late.
