Additional Virtual Walk-in Guidelines:

• Please DO NOT sign in again if your name disappears from the list.  
  • If your name has disappeared from the list, an advisor has pulled your file and is preparing to call you.  Please be patient and allow at least 10 minutes for the advisor to contact you at the phone number you provided.
• New Transfer Students:  If you are a new student who has not yet met with a business advisor, you must make a scheduled advising appointment.  
• Virtual walk-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.  

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

Academic advising is not provided via e-mail; however, if you have recently met with an academic advisor, you can e-mail them directly if you are encountering registration errors or have other questions about that meeting.  If you have a quick question, but do not remember the advisor with whom you met, contact us at COBAdvising@fau.edu.  Please include your FAU Z number. Per university policy, we are not able to respond to any student-specific information unless you have contacted us from your FAU e-mail account.
