Advising in Person

If you've never visited me before, or have received any kind of academic warning, you should make an appointment to see me in person.

If you need extensive help with scheduling, deciding what to take, or anything like that, please make an apointment to see me.

Otherwise, you can probably take care of advising electronically -- see instructions for Electronic Advising.

  • Visit my general office schedule and find a few 30-minute periods in the available times (light green) that work for you. The time you pick should be at least 24 hours from the current time.
  • Send me an e-mail or call me with 3-4 possible times.
  • Please put "***Advising appointment request" in the e-mail subject line.
  • I will confirm your appointment.

  • Please remember to come to your appointment - you'd be amazed at how many forget.
  • Please let me know, if you have to cancel your appointment.
  • Come to the appointment with your schedule worked out as much as possible, so that we can focus on the particular issues you need resolved.

  • If you can't make any of the times, please contact me and we'll work something out.
    		• Electronic Advising

    I will advise electronically, if your proposed schedule is straightforward and we have met for advising before.

    I will not advise electronically, if we have never met in person or if you have received any kind of academic warning -- please make an appointment for Advising in Person.

    If there are some things we need to work out, you can send me a detailed e-mail or make an appointment to visit.

  • Go to your MyPack Portal page and complete a plan of work for the coming semester.
  • Once you have completed a plan of work, select the "Plan Approval" tab.
  • It's supposed to happen automatically, but please also send me an E-mail indicating that you have submitted a plan of work for approval.
  • Please put "***Plan of work submitted" in the subject line.
  • If there are no problems, I'll e-mail you an advisor evaluation form. You must complete and return it to Sydna Willis by e-mail to sydna_willis@ncsu.edu or by bringing it to her in 2018 Biltmore Hall. She will give you your PIN.

    I reserve the right to require a personal visit before releasing your PIN.
