The ACES team is here for you! ACES offers a variety of ways to connect, including advising appointments (both in-person and virtual), drop-in hours, and email communication. Please see below for more specific information on the best way to connect with us.
ACES Fall 2024 Open Hours (August 26th - August 30th only)
Open Hours Schedule & Information
During peak advising times of the semester such as add/drop and registration, the ACES advising team offers Open Hours only, no appointments. ACES Open Hours allow students to meet with any ACES advisor on a drop-in basis. If you have any time-sensitive questions or need some quick help with your schedule, stop by ACES Open Hours! Please note that ACES Open Hours are designed for quick 10 minute or less conversations to answer immediate questions or concerns. To keep the line moving, students will meet with the first available ACES advisor, not necessarily with their assigned ACES advisor.
ACES Open Hours will take place August 26th - August 30th from 9am-12pm & 1pm-4pm.
To utilize ACES Open Hours, please sign in at the ACES main office in ROWE 111 and the next available advisor will come out to greet you. Open Hours are taken on a first-come, first-served basis, so please plan accordingly in case there is a wait.
