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. 

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 advising will not be offered October 12, 2023

Extended drop-in sessions will be offered during peak periods (start of term, drop deadlines, end of term, etc.) and the schedule will be posted here.

Tuesday, October 31: 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Tuesday, November 7: 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Tuesday, November 28: 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Friday, December 1: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Tuesday, December 5: 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM

Drop-in sessions are designed to be shorter in nature and will work on a first come first served basis. Please complete the UC Virtual Drop-in Advising Form to receive the latest drop-in advising schedule, further instructions, and the Zoom link to join the drop-in advising queue.
