How to Visit

When visiting the center as an appointment or drop-in, students can select from three modalities. A drop-in and an appointment are two separate things. A drop-in cannot be scheduled. An appointment can.

1) Face-to-Face
2) Virtual via Microsoft Teams
3) Phone

1) Face-to-Face
Students are able to meet with advisors in person during operating hours. To use this modality as an appointment, please schedule through EAB with the button below. To use this modality as a drop-in,  please visit the office during drop-in hours.

2) Virtual via Microsoft Teams
Students are able to meet with advisors through Microsoft Teams as a virtual meeting during operating hours. Links to join are NOT sent out for this type of session. Instead, students will receive a call from their Student Teams account. Therefore, you must ensure you are logged in with your **KSU credentials only**. To use this modality as an appointment, please schedule through EAB with the button below. To use this modality as a drop-in,  please call our front desk during drop-in hours.

3) Phone

When scheduling an appointment by phone, an Advisor will contact via the number included in the notes. Sometimes our numbers show as spam calls, but if you receive this during the time of your appointment, it will most likely be us. To use this modality as an appointment, please schedule through EAB with the button below. To use this modality as a drop-in,  please call our front desk during drop-in hours to be placed in the queue. Once in the queue, an advisor will reach out to you soon after.

Schedule an appointment

Advisors are not able to and will not squeeze students in between their appointments. If you want to speak with an advisor sooner than our appointment availability allows, visit our office during our drop-in hours as noted in the instructions above. No exceptions.

  • A gated major means that your declared major may require either a minimum GPA requirement, completed prerequisite courses, or both to be eligible for admission into the program. 5 of the 6 of our Wellstar majors are gated (All except for Integrated Health Science). Be sure to meet with an advisor every semester to determine what program requirements you must meet if your major is gated, what courses you should complete each semester, and ensure you remain on track for graduation. 

  • Some majors require either a minimum GPA requirement, completed prerequisite courses, or both to be eligible for admission into the program. Some also require that students complete an application. Once a student meets the program admission requirements and is accepted into the program, they will drop the “interest” label.
