Still have questions after attending an information session?

Prospective students who have already viewed a BDP information session are welcome to schedule an individual advising appointment with a BDP advisor if there are any lingering questions or concerns they wish to address. You may schedule an appointment through the BDP Info Session Canvas Page.

Please note that BDP advisors will not be available to meet with prospective students during fall and spring registration. These are peak advising times when the BDP advisors’ calendars will be reserved for current BDP students only.
