HCRC Academic Advising

Academic Advising in the HCRC

The goal of advising in the HCRC is to help you, the student, be the most competitive applicant you can be for the healthcare program of your choice.

We can assist you with career exploration, course planning, extra-curriculars, volunteering, obtaining patient experience, test prep, study skills, and so much more. Schedule an appointment with us today!

Academic Advising Appointments

In order to best serve our students, the HCRC offers in-person, ZOOM, and phone appointments. Appointment types and times vary per advisor, per day. To ensure effective sharing of information, telephone appointments are discouraged.

• Appointments: Appointments are required (except for drop-in advising) and can be made on MavCONNECT. Please ensure you pick the correct appointment type when signing up on MavCONNECT: In-Person, ZOOM, or phone. Students may also make an appointment by phone or email by contacting unohealthcareers@unomaha.edu or 402.554.5980.
  
  
• Drop-In Advising during fall and spring semesters: Drop-in advising is held in-person and via ZOOM for minor advising needs. Drop-in advising is not available during the summer, and regular fall drop-ins will begin on August 28th.
  
  
• Hold Removal: Students who are enrolled in a 2-year program (pre-nursing, pre-dental hygiene, pre-rad tech) can get their hold removed by meeting with an HCRC advisor. Other Pre-Health students must meet with their program or major advisor to remove their hold.

• Prepare for Your Appointment: Plan for an advising meeting to last about 30-45 minutes. Students should prepare specific questions to make the most of their time with an advisor. If the meeting is to discuss future course schedules, students should review the course catalog and have courses in their shopping cart.

• New Students: Students new to UNO must complete Orientation and become familiar with the many resources offered to students before meeting with an HCRC advisor.
