We’ve developed an experimental AI-powered tool to help students quickly find answers about courses, policies, and resources in the College of Optical Sciences. It uses information from the student handbook and class details so you can ask questions and get instant guidance.
This is a prototype tool and is not intended to replace an academic advisor. Always verify information before making decisions.
