Public Health-Global Health Major advisers assist prospective students with planning and preparing for admission to the major through individual and group advising meetings. Once admitted, students meet primarily with these advisers 1:1 about course planning, applying for graduation, and additional matters related to their academic and career planning.

Current PH-GH Major Students
Advising Appointments
Current major students can schedule 1:1 advising appointments through OnceHub. The link to schedule an appointment through OnceHub is sent to current majors during your orientation as well as included in the Weekly Newsletter sent during the AUT, WIN, and SPR quarters. Email phgh@uw.edu if you have questions or need support accessing the advising link as a current PH-GH major.
Drop-In Advising
Drop-in advising is offered for current PH-GH majors and is a great way to have quick questions answered or to start a conversation when appointments are full. Students will be asked to sign-in while in the waiting room with a sign-in sheet that is shared among those attending in-person drop-in (when offered) and those attending drop-in via Zoom
Please see our appointment page on ScheduleOnce for the Zoom information and details about Current PH-GH Major Drop-in Advising.
Workshops
PH-GH advisers also host virtual workshops around community building, future planning, graduation planning, careers in public health, as well as advertising events through partners around campus. Updates for workshops are included in the PH-GH Weekly Newsletter that is released each Wednesday during the academic year.
Prospective PH-GH Major Students
Prospective students who are current UW students are encouraged to learn more about the major, admissions, and course planning by attending a drop-in or group advising session that best fits their understanding of the major. At any point in the quarter, prospective PH-GH students may email phgh@uw.edu with their questions.
