Advising

From Orientation to Graduation, The Herbert and Nicole Wertheim School of Music & Performing Arts is committed to your success. Navigating your college career can be daunting, but you are not alone. Our professional advisors are continually developing strategies that contribute to your success. For your convenience, both in-person and remote advising sessions are offered. Your advisor is committed to providing guidance every step of the way.

To increase accessibility to our Academic Advisors, we will continue to offer Drop-In advising for Spring 2024 Semester.

NOTE: Graduate students please contact Joel Galand directly – galandj@fiu.edu

FAQs

Your Advisor will notify you through PSN if their drop-in schedule changes or if their regular drop-in hours differ from those listed above. Please continue to check Panther Success Network (PSN) for Advising updates.

Drop-ins should primarily be used for quick and/or urgent issues (15-20 minutes maximum). Longer meetings and those requiring your advisor to conduct additional research are best scheduled in advance and with an appointment.

Drop-in availability will be first-come, first-served and end promptly at 4:00 PM on M, Tu, W, and 12:00 PM on Th, F. While we will do our best to see all students who arrive during drop-in hours, we cannot guarantee that all students will be seen. For guaranteed availability, we recommend scheduling an appointment with your Advisor through PSN.

Students will meet with their assigned Advisor during drop-in hours.
