Book an Appointment

Peterborough Campus Undergraduate Academic Advising

We are here to help support you! This September, we are continuing to offer a variety of ways to connect with an Academic Advisor in your College, including phone and video appointments.  

30-minute Booked Appointments with an Academic Advisor

30-minute booked appointments resume the week of September 20. We are always happy to meet with you via phone or built-in-video chat appointments, however if you require an in-person appointment, please connect directly with your College Office.

You will be able to see appointments up to two weeks away on the Student Experience Portal (www.trentu.ca/sep). Appointments often book up once they become available, so if you don’t see anything available or that would work well for you, you can check back the following day to see new appointments that are available two weeks away. Sometimes cancellations do occur, which also means that sometimes appointments that are available sooner might also appear in the portal.

There are three ways to book an academic advising appointment:

1. Use the links here to book your appointment online through the Student Experience Portal.

• Sign in to the Student Experience Portal with your Trent username and password.
• Click on “Book Appointments” in the left menu to get started.
• If you do not have an active student account please call the Academic Advising phone line (answered by trained, upper-year student staff) 705-748-1011 ext. 7333 for help booking in Peterborough.
• A confirmation email with the appointment details will be sent to you along with a reminder email. If you need to cancel your appointment, please do so by following the links provided in the emails. 

2. Call your College Office during regular business hours. For College Office contact information see our contact page.

3. If you have difficulty using the online booking system you can call the academic advising phone line at (answered by trained, upper-year student staff) 705-748-1011 ext. 7333 for assistance. 

Video Chat Appointments
