What is a Virtual Advisor?

Through the use of Wimba technology, interactive online advising is available and provides students with an opportunity to participate in an advising session from wherever Internet service is available. Students with access to a microphone or phone connection may talk directly with the advisor. Everyone can communicate by typing.

Through the use of Wimba students may view documents (e.g. Program Plan, Transfer Credit Evaluations, etc.) as they relate to the advising appointment. Additionally, if a webcam is available this technology may be incorporated to further enhance the advising appointment. To see if your computer can support this technology please visit: www.wimba.com.

To schedule a virtual advising appointment please contact your Program Center and express your interest in scheduling a virtual advising appointment.
