And I know the email did get sent cause I got a delivery receipt. Also, I know she's in her office because I called the department to ask if she's sick or something. I emailed her once last week, once this week, and left her a voicemail on Monday morning.
What should I do?

i agree.. stop by her office.. or simpley switch to a different advisor and let her superior now why you requested the change. your education should be her top priority (it's her job).. and if she's putting you on the back-burner than it's time to step away and leap foward to someone who does want you to succeed and meet all of your educational needs and goals. good luck & happy learning!

If its the beginning of the semester or close to it, she is probably loaded with work. Of course its not an excuse for ignoring you, but it may at least explain why its happening. Call the advising office and schedule an appointment with her. If they tell you to call her directly, explain that you have tried and have not been able to get through. If you still can't get the time you need from her then that is not fair to you, and you need to look into finding a new advisor. Tough situation, good luck!

If it's the beginning of the term (as it is in our college) she's probably sooooooo busy she just can't get to her messages. One of our advisors said he had over 35 voice mail messages, and didn't have time to return a single one.
If it's something that can wait a week, then be kind and do so. If it's an emergency, then go wait in line to see them.

First off they (he/she) are not doing their job.
There is always the dean, but that gets touchie - so I'd knock on their door, hopefully (if they share an office) the other person would be there.
T'were me - I sure would take a friend with me - it would help prevent any "mis-understangings," or "you said this," etc, type thing.

Ever think of knocking on her door? That's what I would have done in the first place.
