Counseling Appointments

Current F1 visa International Students can make an appointment with a counselor using our new eSARS online appointment scheduling program.

 

If you are not an F1 visa student, you will be directed to make an appointment with General Counseling.

 

You will need your Student ID number and your password. If you do not see any appointments available, they are all booked. New appointments will be available every Monday.

 

In the comments section, please put your questions you want answered, major, and if you are transferring and to where.

 

To find your Student ID Number, you will need to log into your Self-Service, go to Unofficial Transcript, click submit and it should be in the top left on the PDF that is downloaded. 

 

Late Policy: If you are late 15 minutes or more, you will need to reschedule your appointment for another time. 

If you are a current student with a quick question: 

Please visit this website: eAdvising, online quick question service for current students

 

• You will need your Student ID Number and your password. 
• After you sign in, you will see box, click on continue, then Ask A Question to ask your question.
• This service will be tracked so that any counselor available will be able to answer your question.
• Please choose a topic that you have a question about, and then ask your question and click the submit button when finished.
• When your question is answered, you will receive an email that your question has been answered.

Keep in mind that it may be quicker than making a 1 hour appointment, but your questions will only be answered when a counselor is scheduled to be working.
