There will be a limited virtual drop-in hours on November 25th. Drop-In advising is for current LTSC students who are NOT currently assigned to an academic advisor and students admitted for Spring 2023 enrolled in Freshmen Connection for Fall 2022.
If you are assigned to an academic advisor, you must contact them directly.
Advising for Fall 2022
LTSC Advisor Assignments for Fall 2022 have been completed. If you have been assigned an academic advisor, they will be in contact with you shortly via email. If you do not know who your assigned advisor is, email us at askltsc@umd.edu. Please plan to meet with your assigned advisor early in the semester and stay in regular communication. Learn more about mandatory advising requirements for each semester that you are in Letters & Sciences.
If you have not been assigned an academic advisor (e.g., if you are currently non-degree seeking, Freshmen Connection, etc.), you can get academic advising support by using LTSC Drop-In Advising and/or the Letters & Sciences General Email Account (askLtsc@umd.edu).
We look forward to a successful semester!
