Virtual Advising

Virtual Advising

Virtual Advising allows students to speak one-on-one with a professional advisor to explore academic options and opportunities.

Virtual Advisors are available via:

Virtual Lobby can be accessed by logging into Q-Less each time students would like to meet with an academic advisor. Students will be notified by phone call and/or text when it's time to call in or login for a virtual meeting. First time to college students should use the virtual meeting option only - phone calls should not be used for initial course advising sessions. Continuing and visiting students may use either option. We look forward to assisting you!
