Virtual Drop-in Advising

Current and returning PHSC students are encouraged to drop in virtually to speak with an advisor. Business hours for drop-in virtual advising are 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. PHSC is closed on Friday during the summer. 

PHSC uses a virtual queue to welcome students into Advising. Students can wait in line to speak with a representative virtually. Once a student has joined the line we will:

  • Send an estimated wait time
  • Send an alert about the time remaining
  • Allow students to ask for more time

Note: Virtual drop-in advising is only for current or returning PHSC students.

Current Students

How to use the virtual queue:

  • Please have the reason for the appointment, student ID, and mobile phone number ready. Students will receive text message updates regarding their spot in the queue.
  • Students need to have Zoom open for the meeting. Open “Join Meeting” which will have a space to enter a Meeting ID.
  • An academic advisor will summon the student in the order in which they enter the queue. Once summoned, the student will receive a text message with the advisor’s name and their Zoom meeting ID.
  • The student will then need to enter the meeting ID to join the meeting

It is recommended that students join their meeting from a desktop or laptop computer. This will allow for flexibility, such as sharing of screens.
