Academic Advising & Registrar's Office

Front line advisors are available to assist you with many of your academic questions. Typically, your questions can be answered at the front desk without having to initiate an academic advising appointment. You can also speak with a front line advisor by calling the Academic Advising & Registrar's Office at 416-978-3170. 

In the event that your circumstance cannot be resolved by a front line advisor, we will book you an appointment or offer you an opportunity to join a drop-in advising session. 

Are you in need of academic advising?

Virtual drop-ins are an opportunity for students to consult with an academic advisor one-on-one. Please note that drop-in sessions are considered “express” appointments aimed at helping with straightforward inquiries and requests.

Academic advisors in our office will be available to meet with students for a one-on-one confidential virtual drop-in advising during the following weekly times:

Wednesdays: 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM (EST)
Thursdays: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM (EST)

Drop-in sessions are designed to be shorter in nature and will work on a first come first served basis. You can register at any time using the UC Virtual Drop-In Advising Registration Form. The Zoom link and passcode to join the queue, further instructions, and latest drop-in advising schedule are in the closing message after you submit the form.
