    •   On the BlueStar homepage, click My Appointments.
    •   Click Schedule an Appointment.
    •   Click the Assigned tab, then click on the arrow in the box of the advisor you wish to meet with.
    •   Choose the appropriate topic and sub-topic you wish to discuss.
    •   Choose the time that best fits your schedule. Note: you can also click on the date that is displayed and choose a specific date.
    •   Next you can enter a comment of specifics you would like to discuss with your advisor and finally confirm the appointment by selecting the location.

    Academic Advising appointments are listed in Central Time and are available across a variety of modalities: Zoom, phone, or in-person in our office (1 E. Jackson Blvd., Suite 5200). All international appointments must be scheduled via Zoom. For Zoom or phone appointments, we will contact you at your scheduled time.
