If you need help with schedule planning, minors, co-ops, study abroad, changing majors, or degree audits then you will need to schedule a meeting with Katie Torrey using your Michigan Tech Google calendar. Advising meetings are usually 30 minutes long and can be in-person or over Zoom. Be sure to indicate in your meeting invite how you plan to meet (in-person or Zoom).
Appointments will not be available during busy times because there will be virtual walk-in advising hours instead. Walk-in advising times and Zoom links are posted on Katie’s Google calendar. No appointments are needed for walk-in hours. Go to the Zoom link to get in line. You are welcome to stop by Katie’s office to meet in person for these walk-in hours if you are on campus.
Please come prepared to your appointment.
