How to book an Academic & Career Advising appointment
Appointments are available in-person or by phone, and can be booked one to three days in advance, depending on the time of year. New appointments are released throughout the day on a rolling basis.
Advising for your unique needs
Advisors have varying specialties and areas of expertise, and not all are equipped to support every issue or student type.
When booking an appointment, you’ll provide your year level and program — this information is used to match you with the right advisor to support you.
How can I see when new appointments become available?
At most times of the year, when you’re booking an appointment you can see all available slots within the next three days (72 hours)*.
Note: during peak periods throughout the year, appointments may temporarily be released one day in advance instead of three days.
For example, if you’re checking at 9 am, you’ll see any available appointments for 9am three days* from now. If you check back at 9:30 am, more appointments will have been released for 9:30 am three days from now.
- If you don’t see any available appointments, keep checking back throughout the day, as new appointments will continually become available every half hour.
*Sep 2-15: Appointments will temporarily be released on a 24-hour rolling basis during the start of term peak period. For example, if you’re checking at 9 am, you’ll see any available appointments for 9am tomorrow. If you check back at 9:30 am, more appointments will have been released for 9:30 am tomorrow.
Pop-up drop-in advising
Wednesdays from 1 to 4 pm
Connect with an academic and career advisor at locations across campus each Wednesday afternoon — no appointment needed. Advisors meet with students in person on a first-come, first-served basis. Feel free to bring a friend or small group if you’re looking for answers to similar questions.
Most locations give Faculty-specific priority. Find your Faculty’s pop-up advising location:
| Building | Room or location | Priority students |
| CCS | Lobby | Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies |
| EME | First floor foyer | School of Engineering |
| EME | 4145 | Faculty of Management |
| UNC | 207B | Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science |
| UNC | 207E | Irving K. Barber Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences |
| UNC | 208 | Faculty of Health and Social Development |
| COMM | 121 (Black Student Space) | Black-identifying students |
| NECH | 251 | Students living in residence |
If you can’t make it to your priority spot, you’re welcome at any other location — or you can book an appointment for another time.
Note that pop-up advising locations may occasionally be closed due to advisor availability. Check @ubcocareersandadvising on Instagram for updates to our weekly pop-up schedule.
