Virtual Office Hours
You have questions- we have answers! Join us for virtual office hours, where members of the Admissions team are available to answer your questions. As the name suggests, office hours are intended to be drop-in sessions, so you may join or leave at any time within the given timeframe. We will be using the chat and raise hand feature to answer questions, depending on your preference. Please note that office hours are not individual and everyone in the room is invited to ask a question and hear the question, so you should refrain from asking highly individual questions or sharing personal information. All times listed below are Pacific Standard Time. Click the links below to register via Zoom.
