Important:  staff cannot assist with Spring 25 advising via direct e-mail or phone call request. 

If you have previously met with someone for Spring 25 advising and have a follow-up question, you may e-mail that advisor; otherwise, we can only assist via appointment or virtual drop-in. Please do not call or e-mail individual staff if the virtual drop-in queue is closed; staff cannot add students to a closed queue. If you have questions about our policies, please email COBAdvising@fau.edu.  Please allow at least two business days for a reply.

College of Business advisors are available to speak with current FAU students via phone as a virtual drop-in on a first-come first-served basis every Thursday. See the announcements section for dates, times, and schedule changes.

Guidelines:

• *Sign-in begins at 8:30am (unless otherwise indicated on this website; check the announcements at the top of this page for any updates on schedule changes). 
• All students will select "College of Business (Boca)" as the sign in location, but please note that this is a *virtual* drop-in (not in person); if you would like an in-person meeting, please schedule an appointment. 
• If you do not have a working U.S. number, please schedule an appointment or call our front desk for assistance. 
• Sign-in is closed from 12:00pm to 1:30pm and ends for the day at 4pm. Please note sign in may close earlier if capacity is reached.
• Virtual drop-ins are best for quick questions and concerns, are on a space available basis, and should not exceed 15 minutes.  Scheduled appointments are required for a comprehensive review.
• Requests for specific advisors or call back times cannot typically be honored.  
• If you are seeking advising for study abroad or combined master's programs, it is recommended you make an appointment with the designated advisor; however, if you have an urgent question, you can call the front desk to find out if the designated advisor is available for virtual drop-in.

We appreciate your patience, and look forward to assisting you!
