Welcome!
Ecosystem Science and Sustainability provides advising to students in ESS major and minor programs. Our Academic Success Coordinators can address a variety of advising-related questions, assist students with managing their degree programs, and be a resource in navigating university processes and paperwork. Each student will also be assigned a Faculty Advisor to provide additional guidance and professional development support. Below are a variety of Student Resources and Advising materials to help you in your progress!
ESS Academic Advising
ESS students can schedule in-person and phone-based advising by appointment through Acuity Scheduling. Find links to schedule an appointment with your Academic Success Coordinator below. Have a quick question or need to schedule an appointment outside of established advising times? Email Kaye or Nikki for assistance.
In order to inhibit the rate of spread of COVID-19 and to ensure that we continue to equitably serve the needs of our students, all advising and career counseling meetings are to be conducted remotely, not in-person.
