Academic Advising: Plan for Your Future

Academic Advising is about you. While enrolled at UT, you and your advisor will work together to develop your academic plan. To ensure that your personal and academic needs are met, you will want to articulate to your advisor your values, goals and career objectives.

Further, your academic advisor is knowledgeable concerning many aspects of University life and can provide you information and advice on utilizing the opportunities available on campus. While working with your advisor, you will:

  • Develop your academic plan
  • Learn how to be a successful college student
  • Become connected to university resources and programs
  • Explore major and career options
  • Define your educational, career, and personal goals

"I found an advisor I really liked during my sophomore year and have continued to see that same person. Now I'm getting ready to graduate. I'm so thankful for her advice over the years."
