Students can make health sciences advising appointments through the college Starfish system. Use this Introduction to Starfish document to set up a profile and learn how to use the system. Check the Starfish Health Sciences Appointment calendar. Advising appointments are only made through the Starfish system. If you do not see any available appointments, please contact the Health Professions Service Center for assistance. No appointments will be available during quarterly breaks.

Advising sessions are limited in time, so we highly recommend gathering as much information as possible through our website and coming prepared with specific questions and goals for the appointment.

• If you have any arrests or convictions in your background, please discuss this with your advisor to determine whether it could impact your ability to work in the medical field.
