Please Note
Can’t see the advising line in the Qless app? This means we have manually closed the line because we are at capacity. Refresh the app or check the Qless website for the next spot in line. If the Qless app or website says the advising line is “closed” this also means the line is at capacity.
Program Advising is exceptionally busy during the start of term and the line will fill quickly. If your questions are not urgent or directly related to registration for the Winter 2021 term, please consider checking in for advising the week of January 25th, when wait times are significantly shorter. If you are looking to request a general degree audit or course overload, please submit the relevant online form (hyperlink to: https://science.ucalgary.ca/current-students/undergraduate/undergraduate-science-centre/undergraduate-forms). If you have already submitted a form request please do not send follow-up emails—sorting duplicates slows down our response time!
