Due to the need for social distancing, the CSM Advising space is unable to meet the expectation of face to face advising within our offices. Due to this, we will be hosting virtual and/or phone appointment types for advising!

Please be aware of important KSU calendar information-

ACADEMIC CALENDARS
INFORMATION FOR THE WEEK OF FALL BREAK (Nov 23rd-27th)

Due to construction occuring within the doorway/waiting room of our Science Building's Advising Office (Ste 204), the office will be closed off on Mon, Nov 23rd and Tues, Nov 24th.

Advisors will continue their virtual appointment and drop-in availability Monday-Wednesday of next week (Nov 23rd-25th)! The university will be closed on Thursday, Nov 26th and Friday, Nov 27th.
VIRTUAL/PHONE APPOINTMENTS
CSM Advising will be hosting virtual and phone appointment types through our Navigate software.
1. Set up an Appointment via the Navigate software
2. Follow the instructions below based on type of appointment scheduled
VIRTUAL APPOINTMENTS
We will be using “Microsoft Teams” for our virtual appointments.
- Download and ensure you can log into Microsoft Teams
  - Teams is available on the Microsoft Teams website for download and on many smartphone platforms
  - You will log in using the same log in information as your KSU email
- Your academic advisor will send you a one on one chat message at the start of the appointment
PHONE APPOINTMENTS
- Please ensure that you email your academic advisor with the appropriate contact information (phone number) you would like for them to call for your appointment
VIRTUAL TEAMS DROP-INS
You will find the drop-in times/availability and key notes about Drop-ins towards the bottom of the Appointments page.

We will be using Microsoft Teams for our drop-ins.
- Download and ensure you can log into Microsoft Teams (you will log in using the same log in information for your KSU email)
- When in Microsoft Teams, you should see a tab/icon for Teams. Click it and when on the Teams page, it will show you any teams you are a member of. In the top right corner, you will see Join or Create Team. Please click it and use the Join a team with a code option.
  - THE TEAM CODE IS: 0412se4
  - It should add you to our Sci/Math Advising Drop-Ins Team
- When you enter the Team, you will notice a “General” chat page. We are using this chat page as our sign-in sheet. ONLY CHAT ONE TIME PER VISIT. You will chat the type of advising you are interested in.
  - For example, if I'm here for biology, then I’d type in the chat “BIOLOGY.”
    An advisor will send you an individual chat when you are next in line and ask if you’d like to type a chat back and forth or do a video call.
  - If for any reason you need to leave before being helped, please reply to your own chat with “I will come back later.”
  - If you do not respond to the individual chat in 3 minutes, the advisor will need to move on to the next student and you will have to put yourself back into the advising queue with a new chat.
- If you need any support with getting to the team, please email csmadvising@kennesaw.edu

Information to help prepare for Spring 2021

How will I find detailed information about my Spring 2021 schedule?

Due to social distancing requirements, your face-to-face classes this spring may continue to use rotational attendance. Your professors will be posting directions and requirements in D2L about your first class meeting. Please make sure to review this information for each class prior to entering any face-to-face class setting. Due to social distancing requirements, it is possible you may not be in a physical setting for the first class session. These communications to you will be available in D2L beginning January 7.
