The Student Affairs Office (SAO) at the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

* Unless otherwise noted, open office hours are designed for quick questions, exploratory conversations, and emergencies. Students are seen in order of arrival. We also encourage students to arrange individual appointments with deans, especially if the issue(s) they wish to discuss require an extended conversation. Office hours may change if necessary week-to-week, so check the Student Affairs Digest to confirm that week’s availability.
