Student Support During Add/Drop: Drop-In Academic Advising Appointments

January 5, 2026

Contributed by: Ericka Wagner

Happy New Year! We hope you had a restful break and are feeling ready for the upcoming term. As we begin the new year, our Academic Advisors are available to support you with course planning, add/drop questions, and any academic concerns.

Important details:

  • Academic Advisors will be available on a drop-in basis from January 5 through to January 13 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., weekdays. January 13 is the last day to add/drop a course.
  • In-person drop-in is first-come, first-served, and may end early if demand is high – students are encouraged to arrive early to ensure they’re seen in our offices in the DeGroote School of Business in DSB A102.
  • Virtual 15-minute appointments will be available and bookable through Oscar+.

If you have any other questions or concerns outside of drop-in hours (10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.), email buscom@mcmaster.ca. Please include your full name and student number and the Student Experience Team will get back to you as soon as possible.
