All Columbian College students are assigned an advisor from the Undergraduate Advising Office based on last name. Schedule an appointment online with your advising group, or POD; stop by office hours, which are currently all virtual; or email us with quick questions.
If you are looking for a pre-law or pre-health advisor, visit our Pre-Professional Advising page. For questions about study abroad, talk to the study abroad advisor.

Incoming First-Year Students! You cannot book an advising appointment until after you complete the online module and attend your group advising webinar.
The undergraduate advisors are available for appointments with students. Use the online system to book 30-minute appointments with an advisor from your POD.
The online system will display advisors’ availability in two ways:
Please note: The calendar displays availability for two weeks. Students who arrive 10 or more minutes late forfeit their appointment and will need to reschedule.
We understand that unexpected academic obligations, work commitments or illnesses can affect your schedule. However, please alert the CCAS Undergraduate Academic Advising Office of any changes to your scheduled appointments as quickly as possible. We have high demand for appointments so your cancellation will allow us to offer your time slot to another student, if cancelled in a timely manner. Be sure to check your schedule carefully in order to avoid multiple appointment cancellations.
If you need to cancel an appointment, please do so by following the instructions in your appointment confirmation e-mail as soon as you know you need to cancel. If you do not cancel the appointment and do not show up, it will be recorded as a “no show” by your academic advisor. Two or more no-shows in a semester will result in you no longer being able to book a 30-minute one-on-one advising appointment during the semester. Accordingly, you will be limited to meeting with advisors for a 10-minute drop-in appointment during office hours, listed below (no appointment necessary!). Office hours during the Fall and Spring semesters take place each day of the week.
A “no-show” is a student who missed an appointment without cancelling it, either via the online scheduler or by calling the office at (202) 994-6211. Failure to be present at the time of a scheduled appointment will be recorded in your CCAS advising record as a “no-show.” This includes arriving 10 minutes (or more) late to your scheduled appointment.
All pods hold the same office hours during the fall and spring semesters. Students can use these 10-minute meetings to ask quick questions, get clarification on forms and policies and access reference information. Students see the assigned POD advisor on duty.
