Graduate Student Career Advising

Drop-in advising

Drop-in advising is available without appointment Tuesday through Thursday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Career Development Center. The Career Development Center is located at 625 N. Jordan, on the northwest corner of Jordan and 10th. Drop-in appointments take 15-20 minutes. Career advisors answer general questions about majors or careers; critique resumes and cover letters; explain what resources are available on campus; and get students started on internship, job, and graduate school searches. If additional time is required, the advisor will help the student make an hour-long advising appointment.

Hour-long advising

Graduate students whose degree programs are managed by the College of Arts and Sciences receive three free hour-long appointments; those whose programs are outside the College are charged $25 per session. If you are not eligible for a free appointment, please pay at least 24 hours before your appointment, either with exact change in cash or with a check payable to Indiana University. We can only take payments in the Career Development Center main office, which is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If you'd like an appointment, submit a request through our online system. We will assign an advisor to you and email you the advisor's contact information. You will need to contact the advisor directly to set up an appointment. For bookkeeping reasons, we must require that you use the online system even for follow-up appointments.
