Students who are unable to attend drop-in advising may also email sci.advising@unlv.edu to have their question reviewed by an advisor. Please allow 24 to 48 business hours for a response.

Advising Policies

Students who arrive more than 10 minutes late to an appointment may be required to reschedule their appointment for a different day.
Students who have a preferred advisor may request that advisor when making an appointment, or they can be scheduled with the next available advisor.
Students who cannot meet an advisor in-person may request a phone appointment. Please be aware of any time differences when scheduling from a different time zone. All phone appointments are listed in PST.
Drop-in advising meetings are 10 minutes or less, and a follow-up appointment can be scheduled if more time is needed. In rare cases, drop-in advising may be rescheduled or changed. Please call the front desk to confirm availability.
Students are expected to have contact with an advisor at least once every semester.
