In order to serve the Georgia State community and its guests more efficiently, the academic assistance office has established limited "walk-in" hours for questions, deliveries, and general assistance. Walk-in customer service is available Mondays from 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. and Tuesdays from 3 p.m. – 4 p.m. This period is set aside for quick questions which should not take over 10 minutes to resolve. Detailed academic program advisement requires a scheduled appointment with an advisor.
Please call (404) 413-8000 to set up an appointment. Phone messages and appointment requests are taken during regular office hours only.
