We’re here to support your journey.
Broad College academic advisors are coordinators of your undergraduate experience. We provide critical information about academic programs and degree requirements, education abroad, leadership development, major choices, career options, policies and procedures, and campus resources.
The following services are for students currently pursuing or interested in pursuing all Broad majors except hospitality business. Students currently pursuing or interested in pursuing hospitality business have access to customized hospitality business advising services.
Drop-in Academic Advising
Drop-in advising is a first-come, first-served in-person advising service open to all students interested in pursuing a Broad major/minor; no appointment needed. Students must be signed in at least 10 minutes prior to the end of the session to be seen by an advisor (this limit may be adjusted based on capacity).
Location: Undergraduate Academic Services, E101 Eppley Center (1st floor)
Drop-in advising has ended for the semester, and will resume January 13.

30-Minute Academic Advising Appointment (Monday-Friday)
30 minute appointments are open to students in the following majors: Business Admitted, Accounting, Finance, Human Resource Management, Management, Marketing, Supply Chain Management. Students in other majors are welcome to use drop-in advising or the Broad Undergrad email (see above).
These are individual appointments for students to ask questions, plan schedules, discuss academic concerns and make sure they are on track for graduation. To make the most of your advising appointment, please prepare for your academic advising appointment. Students must make appointments online in advance and are required to cancel in advance through the scheduling system if they cannot attend a scheduled appointment.
Students are strongly encouraged to participate in academic advising interactions independently. However, if a student wishes to include another person in the advising appointment, a Release of Information Authorization must be completed and sent to the advisor (via MSU email) prior to the appointment.
