UT Advising Policy

Prior to advanced registration, all undergraduate students who have earned fewer than 30 hours at UT (AP, DP and transfer credit not included) or are on Academic Review are required to meet with an advisor during each term of the academic year (Fall and Spring). All other students are required to meet with an advisor for an advising appointment during a designated term each year.  Students whose ID ends with an even number (including zero) are advised in Fall for Spring registration, and students whose ID ends with an odd number are advised in Spring for Fall Registration.

Students who are unsure of their major are encouraged to meet with an Arts and Sciences advisor each term.
