Each student is assigned to an advisor. Chemical faculty members will post available hours on their doors. Students should sign up in an available slot based on the faculty member’s advisement hours. If you are unable to meet with the faculty member during advisement hours, email your advisor to discuss alternatives.

Can I obtain my registration PIN from the administrative assistant?

No. All students must receive their registration PIN from a faculty member.
