NSCS Advising

NSCS Advising

As Neuroscience and Cognitive Science Academic Advisors, we are here to help our students through their college career in and out of the classroom. We help students achieve their academic and career goals by assisting with the planning and scheduling of courses, referring them to relevant resources, navigating policies and procedures, and connecting them to valuable out-of-the-classroom experiences. We want you to get the most out of your experience at the University of Arizona so please feel free to connect with us and use us as a resource. Make an appointment with us at any time, for any reason. Be it academic, career, or personal, we are happy to help!

Information For:

Current Students (Main Campus)

If you are a current student attending main campus, please feel free to book an appointment with your academic advisor or email us at any time using the links above. 

Please note that there are certain high-volume times of the semester (first week, priority registration advising), and you may see a variety of appointment modalities (more information below). 

We recommend at least one appointment per semester to help us ensure you are on track for graduation. 

You can find our curriculum guides, enrollment forms, and focus/emphasis declaration forms at our forms page.

No Show Policy: Student appointments are considered no-shows if a student misses 1/3 of the appointment. In the case of a zoom appointment, this means the zoom room will be closed for the remainder of the appointment. For 15-minute appointments, this is 5 minutes, for 20-minute appointments this is 7 minutes, and for 30-minute appointment this is 10 minutes. This policy ensures that the advisor and student have enough time to address all questions for the appointment without being rushed and/or making the advisor late for  subsequent appointments in that block.
