Advising

Academic Advising

As a CSP student, you will be assigned an advisor who will engage you in exploring and discovering various opportunities, resources and paths with the goal of assisting you in reaching your academic, social, career, personal objectives. Our Advisors will help you visualize, instrumentalize and execute an individualized track which will be best suited for you. If at any time you need some advice or someone to talk to, we have got you covered. CSP advisors are specifically trained to approach advising holistically and will be more than willing to help you work through a personal situation as well.

Appointment Scheduling

Students can schedule an appointment using one of the following methods:

Use the self-service online appointment scheduling tool which is available anytime.
Stop by the CSP office (1139 Angell) during business hours.
Call the CSP front desk at (734) 764-9128 during business hours.

Drop-in Advising Appointments

Drop-in appointments are available Monday through Thursday from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. with a CSP academic advisor. Students can request a drop-in appointment either in-person or by calling the office during drop-in times.

Drop-ins are first-come, first-served. They are scheduled in 20 minute intervals but can vary depending on questions presented. These appointments should be used for quick questions or timely matters in which any CSP advisor can assist (such as requesting a tutor). You should make an appointment with your assigned advisor if your subject is more in-depth, such as deciding your major, success strategizing, etc.
