Undergraduate Advising Resources

Message regarding academic advising and COVID-19

The health of the Sun Devil community is a top priority at ASU. In a university-wide effort to recognize and proactively address concerns surrounding the novel corona virus (COVID-19), advisors will continue to work with students remotely. As such, we continue to be fully operational, but are providing services via remote mechanisms such as email, phone, Zoom and Slack (in some cases). Graduate and undergraduate advisors are available during our regular business hours, Monday – Friday 8AM – 5PM Arizona time.

We offer express advising during the first few weeks of school in order to help as many students as possible. For information on Express Advising, to view the Express Advising schedule, and to sign into Express Advising (during scheduled Express hours) please go to http://links.asu.edu/CIDSEexpress.

CIDSE Advising appointments are still regularly available via zoom and phone by going to https://fultonapps.asu.edu/advising/calendar/. We are committed to being able to continually support all of our students during this stressful time.

Please note:

Calls from the advising staff may come from unknown numbers as various technologies are being utilized to make outbound calls to students.
Emails may take up to 48 hours (2 business days) for responses during this time period. Please avoid sending duplicate emails as it keeps me from getting through all of your inquiries in a timely manner. Also, please ensure that you are including your ASU ID in every email if you would like a timely response.

The CIDSE NEST academic advisors specialized their training and knowledge to help new students take advantage of these unique opportunities and overcome the unique challenges.

SOAR INFORMATION

CIDSE students who have established a solid foundation for success after completing a year of ASU coursework will meet with our SOAR advising group. SOAR academic advisors specialize in helping continuing CIDSE students establish and achieve their academic goals. ASU, Fulton Engineering, and CIDSE have an indescribable number of resources available to help students achieve their academic, professional, and personal goals. Identifying and taking advantage of these resources can at times be difficult and confusing for students.

When do I need to see my CIDSE advisor?

Students are required to meet with an advisor during their first two semesters in order to be eligible to register. After that, students will not be required to meet with an advisor, although it is highly recommended that students check in with advising at a minimum of once per year. After
