Consultation hours
Hello,
could you tell me if this sentence is correct:
"You can go see the head teacher during his consultation hours."

It's not necessarily TOO informal. "You can go see" is a little casual.
Whether or not it's appropriate would depend on the atmosphere or style of the institution you're dealing with.
Would you need to first make an appointment, or can you just walk in?

I was about to try my hand at a more formal version, but thought it should include the prospect of an appointment, if that is the normal routine. Hence my question:

When I was In college I had a "faculty advisor." He was a professor in the department of my major, but he was not one of my teachers. Every student was assigned a faculty advisor, but he was not necessarily a "senior" professor.
"What year are you in" is a very common casual way to ask someone if he's a freshman, sophomore, etc.
To be honest, I've never known a good formal way
