We have two Graduation and Retention specialists in the office (Nikki Davenport - niddave@indiana.edu  and Derrick Robinson - robindel@iu.edu) who can also help with the FAFSFA, living off campus questions, and many other questions you might have related to your scholarship. Please fee free to email Nikki or Derrick for an appointment or with any questions anytime.

You can schedule with her through the SAS calendar or email her as well.  Starting April 6th, Marissa will offer drop-in hours via Zoom on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 11:30-1:30.   Please email Marissa for Zoom info.  Complex advising/registration questions are best submitted to your academic advisor.
