Remote Drop-In Advising

Thank you to our campus colleagues in SuccessWorks at the College of Letters and Science, Wisconsin School of Business, Center for Pre-Health Advising, and Cross-College Advising Service for your support & sharing your innovative ideas with the advising community. The following information is one example of how to create a “waiting room” for students during drop-ins using Google Forms and Google Spreadsheets. Follow the three steps below to create your own drop-in process: 1. Watch these videos 2. Check out these sample forms
  • Student Intake Form – This is what the student will complete to get into the queue for drop-in advising.
  • Intake Form Responses (Advisor View) – This is a sheet advisors will see with all student responses from the Student Intake Form. Multiple advisors can view the form and triage students at one time.
  • Drop-Ins Queue (Student View) – This is the queue your student will see to know where they are on the drop-in waiting list.
