Fall 2020 Advising Appointments, Undergraduate Programs Office (174 Heady)
Welcome to the Fall 2020 semester! Please take a moment to check your adviser as it may have updated over the summer for second year Ag Business students who entered directly from high school F19.
As the Fall 2020 semester begins, we want to share plans for undergraduate advising and the 174 Heady office suite. Your advisers continue to be available for questions and concerns throughout the semester. Please use ISUAppointments (AccessPlus -- Student tab -- ISUAppointments) to schedule a meeting with your adviser. Heady 174 will be closed for walk-in appointments and questions, so please make sure to schedule an appointment ahead of time.
Advisees of Dr. Boessen and Dr. Elobeid will meet virtually only, others will be able to select in-person, virtual or phone meetings through ISUAppointments. Should you schedule an in-person appointment, you will meet your adviser in either Heady 368B or Heady 368C, NOT 174 HEADY. The updated location will appear in the "notes" section of the appointment.
The Undergrad Office (174 Heady) will be closed for walk-in appointments, though the main office (260 Heady) will be open 8AM-5PM daily should you need immediate assistance. You can also send a note to econundergrad@iastate.edu or call Lydia at 515-294-5436 for assistance. More information about Fall 2020 plans is shared here.
