    ISO Student Services: Virtual Drop-In Advising Hours
    During dedicated Drop-In Hours, an ISO Student Advisor is available to answer quick questions and to review documentation for travel, benefit applications, and more. An average walk-in lasts about 5–10 minutes. For more complicated questions, we will schedule a follow-up appointment.

    Virtual Drop-In Hours are held via Zoom: 
    Mon/Tues/Thurs: 1pm to 3pm and Friday: 10am to 12pm
    https://rochester.zoom.us/my/iso.virtual.dropins.
    Students will be admitted individually, but may remain in the waiting room until the advisor is available. Every effort is made to take students in the order they arrive, subject to Zoom capabilities.
