Virtual Assistance
Several Students Services offices and departments are here to support you with “live chat” options for students wishing to connect with a staff member. Below is a list of campus support services and the best way to connect with each virtually.
When you select a service below during the hours listed, you will be put into a waiting room and a staff member will be with you shortly.
