Academic Advising
Welcome to the Academic Advising Office!
We help students plan their programs and courses, find accurate degree information, resolve academic issues, and develop strategies for success. Our academic advisors and counsellors can help navigate the best match between personal goals and our academic programs, advise on problems that are affecting studies, assist in checking degree requirements, and make appropriate referrals. We support students throughout their time at King's.
PLEASE NOTE: On Thursday, October 17th Drop-in will be held from 10AM to 12noon only. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Drop-in Sessions - 10 minutes
Drop-ins are the fastest way to meet with an advisor. These short appointments are available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday afternoons between 1:30 and 3:30PM and Friday mornings between 10am and 12 noon. Check-in will be available 30 minutes prior to the start of drop-in. Prepare for your session by reviewing the courses you’ve completed, your program checklist, and by drafting your schedule and enabling sharing.
Use the Cardservices Check-in to check-in for drop-in hours at the computers in our lobby or where ever you are! Choose virtual or in-person drop-in. You will receive an email 10 minutes prior to your appointment time with, depending on your choice, the directions to come to the waiting room or containing the zoom link for your meeting.
Book an Appointment
If your questions need a longer time with a counsellor than drop-in can provide, you can book an appointment. Appointments are held on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday mornings or Friday afternoons. You can request an appointment using the Advising Appointment Request form. Provide as much detail/availability as possible, within 2 business days you will receive an email confirming the date/time/format of your appointment. Please do not email individual counsellors for appointments, all appointments are booked through the Main Advising Office.
