Appointments are for current SCS majors only.
Please make an appointment with the appropriate advisor based upon your LAST NAME. Non-majors may visit in-person 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. No appointment is necessary or available, just show up at 105 Noyes Lab and sign into our computer and an advisor will be with you shortly.
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 ensure 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.
