Advisement is required
Each student is required to meet with an academic advisor each semester before registering for the upcoming semester. When students meet with an advisor, they will review their academic program requirements and discuss progress toward their degrees as well as select courses for the next semester. It is strongly recommended that students maintain current information regarding the program they are pursuing as well as keep copies of any kind of advisement materials they receive from an advisor.

Appointments (Business Student Services)
You are encouraged to make an appointment to meet with an advisor. Appointments are available for up to a month in advance and you may make an appointment by calling 618-650-3840 or by coming by the office in Founders Hall, room 3301. If you have never met with an advisor in the School of Business or have issues that might take additional time, you are encouraged to make an appointment to see an advisor.
Drop-in Times (Business Student Services)
If you are advised in Business Student Services, you may also drop-in to see an advisor. The drop-in times are:
Monday through Friday 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Monday through Friday 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., and
Monday through Thursday 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Names are taken only 1/2 hour prior to the beginning of the drop-in period. Students are seen in the order that they appear on that list. If a student is not present when their name is called, we will move to the next student and continue down the list. Students who were not present when their name was called will be added to the bottom of the list when they return. We make every effort to assist any students who come to drop-in, but when the number of students on the drop-in list exceeds reasonable numbers, we will stop taking names until all students on the list have met with an advisor.
Phone-in Appointments (Business Student Services)
You may also set up a phone-in appointment to speak with an advisor. Being prepared and calling on time is crucial for phone-in appointments.
E-Mail (Business Student Services)
Advisors regularly respond to e-mail. If you have a question or need some general information, you may use this method to communicate with an advisor.
Telephone Calls (Business Student Services)
Generally advisors are not interrupted if they are meeting with other students or on the phone. If you call expecting to speak immediately with an advisor, it may be necessary to leave a message. We attempt to return all phone calls in a relatively prompt fashion, as time and resources permit.
