Advising

Remote Advising

During this period of social distancing during the COVID-19 outbreak of 2020, all advising for the Department of Geography, Environment, and Society will be done remotely.

Advising will be available over Zoom, Google Meet, or telephone. Zoom is the preferred medium for advising. For students who are not able to find a private place to conduct an advising appointment, advising can be done through Google Chat or on the phone. All U of M students have access to Zoom. Find information on how to get access to Zoom.

All advising will be by appointment. Appointments will be available most days and availability can be found on the appointment calendar. If you cannot find an appointment time that works for you, please email geogadv@umn.edu and we will find a time that works for you.

Quick questions can be answered in email as usual. You may direct all email inquiries to geogadv@umn.edu.
