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)

Want to chat about careers?

On the first Wednesday of each month during the Fall/Winter session, a Career Educator from Career Exploration & Education will be available at our virtual drop-in advising to meet with students one-on-one for any career-related questions!
