Schedule an advising appointment

As a student in the College of Applied Health Sciences (AHS), you are assigned a primary academic advisor who is available to support you throughout your academic journey. You may schedule an appointment or contact your advisor by email with any questions or concerns. If you are unsure who your advisor is or need assistance connecting with advising support, Student Affairs can help.

To schedule an appointment, sign in to my.uic.edu, select the Advising tab, and click the iAdvise icon. From there, access your My Success Network and search for your AHS primary advisor. Click here for step-by-step instructions.

NOTE: Students with faculty advisors or individuals at the graduate level may reach out to their faculty advisor via email or their preferred scheduling method.

Drop-in (same-day) advising is available during the first week of the fall and spring semesters and on the Friday of week 10. Drop-ins are best for quick questions. Appointments required for probation, check-ins, or long-term planning must be scheduled separately and cannot be completed during drop-in hours. Drop-in times are shared in semester welcome emails and can also be found in iAdvise by checking My Success Network for your assigned advisor.
