Please make an appointment with the appropriate advisor based upon your LAST NAME. Non-majors may visit in-person or virtual Express Advising (schedule below) or email scs-advising@illinois.edu with questions.
Express Advising
Express Advising is for current SCS majors and non-majors who have quick questions about topics such as time-sensitive schedule changes, digital signatures or approvals, declaring a Chemistry or Biomolecular Engineering minor, or transferring into Chemistry, Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, or CS+Chemistry.
Current majors who need to discuss more in-depth topics, like course planning, degree completion, research experiences, academic concerns, etc., should schedule an in-person or virtual appointment with their assigned advisor.
To insure their disability-related concerns are properly addressed, students with disabilities who seek assistance to participate in services or events through our office are asked to contact scs-advising@illinois.edu or 217-333-1051 as soon as possible.
