Arriving for an In-Person Appointment
If you scheduled your appointment to occur in person, then you'll want to arrive at our office suite at least 5-minutes before your scheduled appointment time. Our office is located on the first floor of Lutgert Hall in Suite 1300. Once you've arrived, scan appropriate QR code on entrance door; one is to schedule an appointment, and the other to check-in for an appointment. You can enter and have a seat in the waiting area, and an advisor will come to get you shortly. On appropriate days, a QR code for In-Person Fly-By Advising is available at the front desk in the suite.
Attending a Virtual Meeting
If you requested a virtual meeting, it will occur through Microsoft Teams. For a Microsoft Teams you will want to download the application to your computer or mobile device and log-in using your FGCU credentials. FGCU's IT Services department has created a helpful websitewith more instructions on accessing Microsoft Teams. Please be logged in to your teams profile at the time of your appointment, and we will call you on the platform. In some instances, we may send you an email invite with a link to join your meeting.
Phone Meetings
In general, phone meetings are our least preferred method of conducting an appointment. If you have a few quick questions, then they can be effective; however, any meeting in which registration or course sequencing is being discussed is better conducted in a format where you can see our computer screen. If you do elect a phone meeting, then you will need to provide a phone number during your appointment booking process, and we will call you at the number provided at the time of your appointment. Please note that we will NOT conduct the appointment if you are driving when we call you.
Students are expected to take primary responsibility to meet with their academic advisor on a regular basis to insure completion of all requirements for graduation.
