School of Business Drop-in Advising Hours
We know accessibility is important to our students, and offering virtual drop-in advising hours is how we can be most accessible to students across all UConn’s campuses, so that no matter where you are, you can always drop-in to chat with one of our professional staff advisors anytime in a Fall or Spring term during our drop-in advising schedule.
On-Demand Academic Advising
Virtual Professional Staff Drop-in Advising (All Campuses)
Advisors are intricately involved in Summer and Winter Orientation programs so are unable to hold consistent Drop-In Advising Hours over the summer or winter breaks. Throughout the Fall and Spring terms, regular hours are held and students are welcome to utilize Drop-In Advising Hours from any campus. During any of the scheduled drop-in hours listed below, students can click the button to sign-in and meet virtually, on-demand, with a School of Business Academic Advisor (it does not need to be the student's assigned Advisor):

Once checked in, you will see on the check-in page if there are students waiting ahead of you. When a virtual room is ready and an Advisor is available, you will be provided a link to join the room, so be sure to continue to refresh the check-in page and/or monitor your email for a direct link to be provided. In an effort to serve as many students as possible, please know that if you do not join the room within 2 minutes of being provided the link, the Advisor may move on and pick up the next person in line, and you can sign in again for a later time when you are available.
NOTE: The drop-in option is only available and monitored during hours listed above. *Note that staff are unable to hold consistent Drop-In Advising Hours over breaks, including winter break, summer break, Thanksgiving break, and Spring break. If planning on visiting during a break, feel free to call (860-486-2315) or email (undergrad.business@uconn.edu) the office anytime with general questions or to check advisor availability.
