Spring 2024 Walk-In Advising
DS Advising holds walk-in advising exclusively to answer pressing start-of-the-semester questions and concerns about your schedule or resources.
Walk-in advising is quick so we can help as many students as possible - visits are no more than 10 minutes. Topics such as long term course planning or probation-related discussions are not appropriate for walk-in week as they require a much longer discussions. Students with these needs are encouraged to make a dedicated appointment beginning the second full week of the semester.
In-Person Location:
Center for Computing & Data Sciences
665 Commonwealth Ave., Floor 16
Students may visit any CDS academic advisor for help during walk-in hours. However, if you are wanting to speak with someone in particular, please click on the "CDS Academic Advisors" section above to make note of their SP24 walk-in details.
