Your safety and privacy matters! In a virtual advising environment, it is important to take steps to ensure the privacy and security of your advising session. Please abide by the following for each virtual advising session:

Do not use the session while you are driving or where such use creates an unsafe hazard for you or others.
Join the session from a private location (away from roommates or in a public space where others may overhear your conversation). Without a FERPA waiver on file prior to the session, we cannot speak with your parents/guardians or others.
Please observe rules of “netiquette” and decorum, such as being respectful and avoiding interruptions during the session.
Have a headset with microphone ready (your cell phone headset will work great!)
Wear appropriate attire (think “No Shirt, No Service”)
To connect, you must grant permission to use the microphone and camera.

If students are NOT eligible for group advising, they will be directed to schedule an appointment for further assistance.
