Virtual Advising
Virtual advising is available to part-time students who are 25 years of age or older. Advising is provided either via WebEx or telephone. You are not required to set up a WebEx Account. If you are an approved virtual advising student, you will be able to schedule an appointment with the virtual advisor as they become available via the Fox Advising Appointment System. Be sure to choose "Elvita via Virtual Advising."
Shortly before your scheduled appointment, you will receive e-mailed instructions on how to join the meeting. Please note that the e-mail will be sent to your Temple University e-mail address. You can choose to use your webcam or phone to communicate with the virtual advisor.
