In-Person & Virtual Drop-in Advising*

Students can drop in to see the Academic Advisor that is on duty for quicker advising conversations*. These meetings are usually no more than 15 minutes long. Please be aware that your meeting may not be immediate. The front desk staff can give you an estimated wait time.

Mondays and Tuesdays 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM
Wednesdays and Thursdays 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM

In-Person Drop-Ins

Check-in at the front desk with a physical photo ID in Kennesaw Hall Suite 1314 on the Kennesaw Campus. The first available advisor will call you back when it is your turn.

Virtual Drop-Ins

Call 470-578-6055 to be added to the waitlist for a Teams meeting. You must speak directly to a staff member. Do not leave a voicemail. You must have your KSU ID number ready. All drop-in sessions are via Microsoft Teams. We do not offer advising over the phone.

*Drop-in advising is limited.  You will meet with the advisor that is available. Drop-in advising is designed for quick questions such as withdrawing from a class or registration errors. Students wanting more in-depth advising such as changing majors, multiple semester degree plans or meeting with a specific advisor should schedule an appointment. 

The following topics are unavailable for walk-in advising: 

  • Course Repeat Requests 
  • Study Abroad/Exchanges 
  • Business Advising Holds 
  • Multiple Semester Planning 
  • Academic Appeals 
  • Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeals

*Due to the volume of current KSU students utilizing Express Advising, unfortunately, we are unable able to accommodate Fall 2025 freshmen students during Express Advising weeks. To be able to provide you with the amount of time needed, appointments are strongly encouraged for new students.  We look forward to meeting with you after April 1st.
