Appointments & Drop-Ins

Our office offers comprehensive advising services to all new and current UW Bothell students, returning former UW Bothell students, and prospective transfer students. We work with you to match your interests with opportunities at UW Bothell and help you to integrate your academic and career plans. There are several ways to work with our office.

Appointments

30-minute advising appointments are available throughout the year during our business hours from 9am to 4pm, Monday through Friday. You can make an appointment through our online appointment scheduler or stop by the Academic Advising Center on the first floor of UW1. During Period 1 registration our calendars quickly become booked.

Other types of appointments

To make any of these types of appointments you can use the online scheduler, visit us online or call our office at (425) 352-3427. You can also stop by during business hours and make an appointment in person.

Low scholarship

If you are currently on academic warning or probation, you should receive an email to your UW email account from an advisor or the Office of the Registrar. Please read it carefully before scheduling an appointment.

Military & veterans

Students who currently serve or have served in the U.S. military are welcome to work directly with our office and to schedule 30-minute appointments. If you are a veteran and just need to obtain a signature on your quarterly schedule for the purposes of receiving VA benefits, an appointment may not be necessary; you can stop by our office during regular office hours and an advisor should be able to assist you on a drop-in basis.

Reinstatement

If you have not yet declared a major and have been dropped for low scholarship, you will need to work with an advisor who will help you file a petition for reinstatement.

Where is the Academic Advising Center?

Is Drop-In Advising Available?

Yes! There are two types of drop-in advising. Some academic advisors hold their own drop-in hours. If you’d like to meet your advisor during drop-in, please reach out to them to find out their available drop-in hours.

You can also get drop-in advising assistance from our student assistants. Student assistants can answer quick questions about advising issues and access to campus resources or can help you connect with your academic advisor.

You can access drop-in advising during our office hours either in-person in the Academic Advising Center, or through Zoom (see center hours listed above):

• You will be required to sign in using your UW NetID and password.
• The Zoom meeting room may close earlier than the posted end time if there are lots of students in the waiting room (more students = earlier closing so we can help students in the waiting room and end on time). If you are unable to access the waiting room, please email uwbadvis@uw.edu and we can work to help you over email.
• Wait times will be dependent on the number of students who are in the waiting room before you.
• Students will be seen in the order they checked in via the Zoom waiting room. If you leave the waiting room, you will lose your place in line.
• Drop-in advising sessions are generally 10 minutes or less.
