Academic Advising Hours & Appointments
Virtual Drop-In Academic Advising
Designed for quick questions and time-sensitive matters, virtual drop-in advising provides students with brief, same-day support. These sessions are best for resolving immediate concerns, clarifying policies, or getting quick guidance without the need for an appointment.
Virtual drop-in advising operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Use the link below to join a virtual drop-in academic advising session. Once you have joined the Zoom session, complete the linked check-in form to meet with a member of the GWSB academic advising team.

Scheduled Academic Advising Appointments
For more in-depth academic discussions, students can schedule a 30-minute advising appointment, available both in-person and virtually. These appointments are ideal for multi-semester academic planning, exploring majors, minors, or concentrations, and preparing for study abroad programs.
Students can schedule appointments up to two weeks in advance, with new time slots released every business day. If no appointments are available, check back regularly, as new openings may become available due to cancellations.

No-Show Appointment Policy
Advising appointments are limited, so we ask that you cancel at least one business day in advance if you are unable to attend. Same-day cancellations or missed appointments will be recorded as a "no-show." Students who accumulate three no-shows in a semester will lose the ability to schedule advising appointments for the remainder of that term. However, they may still access virtual drop-in advising sessions. Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring advising availability for all students.
Summer Availability
Advising appointments are offered virtually and in-person during the summer. If you are in the DC area and would like your 30-minute appointment to be in-person, please email an academic advisor to see if they are available to meet in-person.
Academic Success Coaching
GWSB students can meet one-on-one with a GWSB academic success coach for personalized support in areas such as college preparedness, academic goal setting, study strategies, time management, and overcoming distractions or other challenges.
Please note: Academic success coaches do not provide guidance on academic policies, course scheduling, curriculum requirements, or study abroad. For quick questions on these topics, visit a virtual drop-in advising session. For more in-depth discussions, such as multi-semester academic planning or exploring majors, minors, and concentrations, schedule an advising appointment.
