First-year and current students
Log in to the AskOtago Service Portal with your Otago username to request an appointment with a Student Development student adviser.
With lectures commencing on 14 July the demand for course advice is high. During this time, Student Development is focused on setting students up for semester two. If your query does not relate to semester two, we ask you schedule an appointment for after August 4th. If you require an appointment sooner and find they are unavailable, please attend an in-person drop-in.
Visit the AskOtago Central Hub (located in the Central Library of the Dunedin campus) to speak with a Student Adviser for drop-in advice - no appointment required. Student Advisers are available for drop-ins 1pm to 4pm on a Monday and 9:30am to 4pm Tuesday to Friday.
Hours are extended from Monday 7 July to Friday 1 August to 9:30am – 4:30pm.
Attend a drop-in advice session
If you can’t make it onto campus or there isn’t an appointment time that suits you, you can request advice via our email or callback form and we will aim to respond within 2-3 business days (depending on demand).
