Advising

Mission

The Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications recognizes the importance of advising and supports students as they plan and achieve their academic and career goals. A dedicated, nine-person advising staff exists for one-on-one meetings, drop-in hours and small group sessions with students.

The ultimate responsibility for understanding University policies and completing all degree requirements rests with the student. However, the advising office can assist students with information and advice on many topics.

Drop-In Appointments

Tuesdays, 9-11 a.m. and 1-4 p.m.
Advising Office, 204 Carnegie Building

Students are seen on a first-come, first-served basis. Drop-ins may close earlier than advertised depending on the number of students in line. You may request an adviser, but when it is really busy your wait will be shorter if you are open to seeing any adviser. For the shortest wait, arrive at 9 a.m. and be open to seeing any adviser.
