Human Services Department

Fall Semester 2023 ADVISEMENT SCHEDULE

AUGUST 28TH — DECEMBER 13TH, 2023

Are you ready to be advised? The department offers advisement via zoom, email, or in-person in Fall 2023. Here is what you need to do before joining the advisement session.

Advisors can answer/assist in all department/course policies, such as:

• TAP flags;
• Proof of credits;
• Career/graduate school consultation;
• Review your Advisement Guide;
• Report to Register any changes needed;
• Answers general questions; and Referral to other depts.

Chairperson does not hold advisement hours. Therefore, the chain of command is to start with an advisor first as they can assist you with most issues. If an issue needs further assistance, the Advisor will contact the Chair on your behalf and follow up with you.

Change of Curriculum: If you need to change your curriculum, fill out a change of curriculum form and submit the form on Registrar Student Submission Link. Do not send your form to the HUS faculty or the chairperson.

Before Advisement Sessions:
Students are to view the Sample Advisement Guide; their CUNYfirst Student Summary; Transcript; Degree Works to successfully complete their Guide where there are no empty cells where students have/are/will take a course.

Zoom or Email Advisement (No appointment necessary - stay in Waiting Room)
Students must send three documents via email to a faculty advisor right before the zoom or email advisement session:

• A completed Advisement
  • The blank advisement guide form is for you to fill in and complete.
  • A sample of an advisement guide is for your information.
• Student Degree Works Audit (in pdf format, NOT a screenshot)
• CityTech Transcript (in pdf format, NOT a screenshot)

Please read the below instructions carefully to best experience in-person advisement.

1. Send your questions/inquiries ONLY to an advisor you wish to get advisement.
2. Follow the below instructions when sending your documents via email.
   1. Email Subject Line: Your name, emplid, and state that you need advisement
      Example Email Subject Line: John Doe, Emplid 12345678, Advisement needed
   2. Email Attachment: Completed Advisement Guide, degreeworks in pdf format, transcript in pdf format
   3. Email Context: Include all necessary information and be specific about your question, such as:
      • Tap Flag: What is the course that is being tap flagged?
      • Registration issue: What do you see on your screen? What is the hold about? Or something else
3. If you send a BLANK Advisement Guide to a faculty advisor, you will be asked to complete the guide and re-join the session. Advisors will not fill out the Advisement Guide form for you.
4. Do NOT send the same inquiries to all advisors. Instead, choose the time you wish to be advised, and send your information/questions to an advisor assigned to that session.
5. Faculty advisors will only respond to you during their advisement hours. For zoom advisement, be mindful as you may have to wait in the zoom waiting room for a reasonable amount of time as zoom advisement is individual advisement. Students will be advised on a first-come, first-serve basis.
