Your College Contact is an advisor in the College Office who can answer questions your pre-major advisor cannot, provide a second opinion and provide general advising questions even if you’re a junior or senior.
If you have a declared major, your major advisor is also listed on Path@Penn.
Contact your advisors by email to discuss their preferred mode for appointment scheduling and meeting.
