Find My Advisor in Nexus

• Many advisors prefer that students schedule their in-person or virtual appointments Nexus, while some advisors prefer that students come to their office hours or, some schedule appointments via e-mail, some use the Nexus
• To find out how your advisor schedules appointments or what his/her office hours are, go to their department website. Typically, this information is found under such headings as “Contact Us,” “Faculty” or similar.
• If you cannot find the information on the website, e-mail your advisor or go to contact the main department office and ask.

Before you meet with your advisor, take some time to prepare for your appointment so that you can make the most of your time together. Make a list of topics and questions to ask your advisor.

These might include:

• UConn’s Common Curriculum: General education curriculum requirements
• Major/minor requirements
• Course Planning and Registration
• Student Support Resources
• Academic Challenges
• Educational opportunities (education abroad, research, internships, etc.)
• Career and Graduate School Plans

No single advisor has expertise in all the areas you may wish to explore. Learn more about the advisor/advisee relationship and advisor/advisee responsibilities. 

If your advisor is unsure about specific requirements or regulations, they will likely direct you to your Advising Center Contacts. These offices are also able to answer questions about such matters as substitutions, excess credit, late drops, academic probation and dismissal. Students should consult with a wide range of faculty and staff who may be able to advise them on the many opportunities available, such as education abroad, research, internships, careers, and graduate school.
