The Department of Biological Sciences' Advising Office has five biology advisors who work to support and enrich the academic experience of students by helping with curricular decisions, as well as providing information and guidance on extracurricular options, career paths, and post-graduate plans. The Biological Sciences Undergraduate Advising Office is open to any student (not just our majors) with questions regarding Biology classes, majors, and careers.

Biology Advising Walk-In hours are great for quick questions that can be answered in under 5 minutes. Generally students are encouraged to stop by and see if an advisor is available at any time, although the weeks before enrollment (October and March) are discouraged due to the high traffic. We also have designated walk-in hours with our Biology Peer Advisors.
