Contact SDSB Advising
The Office of Undergraduate Student Advising (OUSA–SDSB) supports undergraduate students with academic planning, course selection, academic progress, and other concerns related to their undergraduate experience at LUMS. Students can contact the Advising Office through walk-in office hours, scheduled appointments, or email.
Walk-In Office Hours:
Students may visit the Advising Office during designated walk-in office hours to discuss general academic questions and concerns. Walk-in consultations are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are intended for brief discussions.
Walk-in advising can help with:
- Clarifying major requirements and degree requirements
- Planning and discussing course selection and enrollment for the upcoming semester
- Considering the implications of dropping a course
- Addressing general academic queries
For concerns requiring a more detailed discussion, students may be advised to schedule an individual appointment.
Appointment-Based Advising
Individual advising appointments are available for students who require more in-depth academic guidance. Students can request an appointment by emailing undergradadvising.sdsb@lums.edu.pk.
Appointments are recommended for discussions involving:
- Developing semester-wise academic plans
- Exploring major or minor options
- Reviewing degree progress and remaining graduation requirements
- Discussing academic performance and strategies for improvement
- Academic standing concerns, including Academic Warning and Academic Probation
- Guidance and counseling related to academic and non-academic matters
Students are encouraged to briefly describe their concerns when requesting an appointment so that the appropriate Advising support can be arranged.
Quick Questions
For brief academic queries, students may visit the Advising Office during walk-in hours or email undergradadvising.sdsb@lums.edu.pk.
Emails are generally addressed within 1–2 working days. Where necessary, queries may be referred to the relevant university office for further assistance.
Some concerns, such as detailed academic planning, major exploration, or academic performance concerns, may require a scheduled appointment to allow sufficient time for discussion.
