The first is coming to drop-in hours. Drop-ins are designed for quick questions and last 15 minutes or less. On the academics side, you can use a drop-in to get help with choosing classes, degree requirements, concerns about academic performance, and any other personal or adjustment topics you want to talk about. On the career side, drop-ins can help with resume\/cover letter review, interview prep, and LinkedIn profile reviews. You can learn more about the Feld Center for Career &amp; Alumni Engagement <a href=\"https:\/\/questromfeld.bu.edu\/\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> You can also schedule an appointment with your academic advisor. Scheduled appointments are 30 minutes in length and are designed for those longer, more in depth conversations about your long term plans or concerns about how you\u2019re doing in class, among other things. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, you can always reach out to your advisor via email. You can find your advisor\u2019s email <a href=\"https:\/\/questromworld.bu.edu\/udc\/more\/meet-the-udc\/.\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section

During this period, you can use an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/reg\/files\/2011\/12\/add-drop-form.pdf\">Add\/Drop form<\/a> to get into a class if you were previously unable to because the class was full.\u00a0 Just print the form,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">fill out the top section with your information, and ask the professor of the section you hope to add to sign you into a course. \u00a0Bring the signed form to the corresponding school or deparment. For example, if you would like to add a Philosophy course you must go to the Philosophy Department. The Add period typically ends after the second week of classes, but you can always check the weekly UDC Snapshot for the dates. The dates to drop classes will be listed in the course details when you look at your schedule. Remember that if you can&#8217;t get the course this fall, you&#8217;ll have seven other semesters to take it!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-8mf89m-9aae95c5d39493acd91f0c6590b4a76f'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-31' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-31' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-31' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"What is a permission number?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: What is a permission number?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: What is a permission number?\">What is a permission number?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-31' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-31' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Permission Number designation on myBU means that the class is restricted for some BU students.\u00a0 If you are able to add a course to your schedule builder or shopping cart, you&#8217;ll be able to register for it on a space available basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-kn7v1m-ed5dea3c1c7a33459b0fbe607a4f9dbd'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-32' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-32' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-32' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"How do I figure out if I have enough time to get between my classes?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: How do I figure out if I have enough time to get between my classes?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: How do I figure out if I have enough time to get between my classes?\">How do I figure out if I have enough time to get between my classes?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-32' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-32' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The building address is listed in the course description so you are able to use Google Maps to see the distance between your classes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div  class='hr av-xs7ol6-5c0aab3065fbe2bb1961bc0d0205e22e hr-default  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_toggle_container  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jvlhevq4-dee3cd7387e02ab2876cb5610e8c6367 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3><span style=\"color: #993300\"><strong>Boston University Orientation<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='togglecontainer av-wnkuju-7e81db9d1f8921c6c0129ba29c4e436f  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr  toggle_close_all' >\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-57en96-b8f3ddeec5406ab7092fa8de251bb2f1'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-33' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-33' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-33' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Do I have to come to Orientation?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Do I have to come to Orientation?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Do I have to come to Orientation?\">Do I have to come to Orientation?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-33' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-33' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes.
