The University of Akron College of Business
Graduate Academic Advising
Advisors are available to provide individual academic advising services to students in College of Business (CoB) graduate programs. Our advisors provide:
- Explanations of degree requirements
- Assistance with academic planning and course scheduling
- Answers to questions about university and college policies and procedures
To help ensure you are reaching your goals, we recommend contacting an advisor at least once each semester by scheduling an advising appointment or sending an e-mail. If you have questions or need other assistance in preparing a schedule for the next semester, contact an advisor early.
Scheduled 30 Minute Advising Appointments
When signing up for an appointment, students must select either Virtual Advising or In-Person Advising before selecting a day/time. All appointments are 30 minutes long. If students select a virtual appointment, they will receive an email with log-in instructions for a Microsoft Teams meeting. Students must download Microsoft Teams prior to a virtual appointment.
