How to meet with an ECSMP Advisor:

Students are assigned to a pathway advisor based on the last two digits of their PSU ID number, as listed below. We take a team approach to advising, and you are welcome to see your assigned advisor or another advisor.  If you would like to request a different advisor than the one assigned to you, please fill out an Advisor Change Request form. If you change your major to a different pathway, your new advisor will be updated automatically within a week. Scroll down to see ECSMP faculty advisors.

Use the links below to schedule a phone, virtual or in-person appointment. You will be required to sign in with your Odin account. If you cannot access the appointment scheduler, call our front desk at (503) 725-4631. You will be required to sign in with your Odin account. Please note that if you have a pre-professional program, you should meet with that advisor, regardless of your major.

Students starting at PSU in a future term: You may meet with an ECSMP advisor prior to your first term, but you must participate in New Student Orientation in order to register for your first term classes. You are also welcome to attend our drop-in hours listed below. Transfer students should also check out our Transfer Guides!

ECSMP advisors are available for virtual drop ins Monday-Friday from 10-11am and 2-3pm. Use the Virtual Drop-in Form to sign up.
