CAFES Virtual Advising

In an effort to protect students and staff, CAFES Advisors will be offering email and virtual academic advising with Zoom only, until further notice. Our office will also be closed for drop-ins.

The CAFES Advising Center is partnering with your Major Departments to support you in every way possible.
