Your time on-campus
Events and Sessions for All Students
These events and sessions are intended for all Community-Based students!
Advising by Appointment
Status: Optional
When:*
- Wednesday, July 10th - Friday, July 19th: Check Elevate for Availability
Where: EDT 230 (Map)
What: Do you have advising questions, from transfer credit to degree progression to registration troubleshooting or program regulations? Meet your Advisors in-person to discuss! Due to high demand and previous orientation feedback, we have shifted to an appointment model, ensuring that your advising time is reserved for you!
Booking: Book your appointment via Elevate, using your usual eID login credentials. Appointments will open to booking in mid-June, just preceding your time on-campus. Appointments typically run for 20 minutes - if you feel that you need more time, please email us at upe@ucalgary.ca so that we can get you booked appropriately!
Note that the dates and times listed above are appointment blocks reserved specifically for Community-Based students! We will still be offering other appointment and drop-ins for all students during your time on-campus - check out our contact page to see if those times may work better for your schedule.
*Some Community-Based students may have courses or other Summer Series sessions running during these times - please check your schedule, below, and book your appointment during a non-conflicting time!
Important: Your classes and Summer Series sessions such as 'Field Experience Information' take priority over advising! Can't find a time that works for you? Email us at upe@ucalgary.ca, if you're hoping to meet while on-campus, and we'll see what we can do based on Advising Team availability (keep in mind, we may be running other orientation sessions!). Do know that we offer year-round advising via Zoom, so feel free to connect with us before or after the Summer Series, too!
