Scheduling Appointments

This page provides instructions on scheduling and canceling advising appointments. This can be done using the Navigate Student App or from a computer. The instructions for using the app are listed first, with the computer instructions listed below.

Almost all academic advisors and student support services are now beginning to offer in-person appointments as well as virtual appointments. Your academic advisor will be in contact related to how your appointment will take place. Please contact Jayhawk Academic Advising, or the office you scheduled an appointment with, if you have further appointment questions.
