Academic Advising
All UT students are required to receive academic advising prior to registering for classes. Advisors guide students in selecting courses and even choosing a major. Incoming freshmen and transfer students have the opportunity to meet their advisors and register for classes during Orientation.
Students who do not participate in orientation may contact the advising office for the college to which they were admitted in order to arrange an advising appointment. For a list of Colleges & Schools, along with links to active Web sites, please visit our Colleges & Schools page.
The Student Success Center also offers helpful information on the process of academic advising, as well as links to college advising departments and advice for undecided students.
