Academic Advising

Find your advisor, see their drop-in hours and what they can help you with.

College of Science Office of Student Services

For students in majors within the College of Science, please see below.

  • Major-specific questions? Please follow your major department's procedure for contacting your academic advisor during the break.
  • General (non-major specific) questions? Please email science@arizona.edu. Include your name, ID number, and major when emailing.
  • LATE DROPS or SCHEDULE CHANGES after the posted deadline: If you need to make a schedule change (i.e. withdrawal or other change after UAccess is no longer available for these requests): 
    • Use the Online Change of Schedule Request through the Registrar's office: https://www.registrar.arizona.edu/cos
    • Your request will get routed to your professor as well as the College of Science for approval. The Registrar's Office will notify you if your request is approved. 
      Note: Please avoid waiting until the last day of the course to request a change, as the procedure involves a few steps that take time for processing!

Please note: Drop-in advising at the Bartlett Academic Success Center is suspended for Fall 2024.
