Academic advising is available to all undergraduate MCS students in multiple formats. Our department has two Academic Advisors: Laura Ferlito (for Mathematical Sciences and Applied Statistics matters) and Yvette Ye (for Computer Science matters). Before connecting with an academic advisor, consider reviewing the First Year Students page.
Drop-Ins (In-Person)
Drop-ins are held in DH3012 and are intended for straightforward/brief student inquiries. Availability for each academic advisor will be posted on the whiteboard outside DH3012 or below. During drop-in times, the academic advisor will do their best to address all your inquiries, but if multiple students are waiting, only the top matters will be discussed. Please avoid dropping by near the end of a drop-in period, as there is no guarantee you will be seen.

Group Advising
Online drop-in meetings (via Zoom) are typically before important deadlines, such as course management, program enrollment, and course dropouts. These sessions will be announced through Quercus and on our website.
Town Hall meetings (in-person) typically address popular topics such as program entry and internship opportunities, including PEY. These sessions will be announced through Quercus and on our website.
We are always interested in ways that best serve our students. If you have any suggestions, feel free to contact your academic advisor.
