The One Stop Shop concept is based on the goal of helping students get as many questions answered as possible with just one visit to one office.

UCAC Advisors will staff that One Stop counter, and will help students with a variety of questions related to not only advising, but also to transcripts, insurance verification, how to pay their bills, basic financial aid questions, and scheduling questions.
