All Social Work majors must see an advisor prior to registration each semester. Advisors are available twenty hours each week. The names of the advisors, their advising hours, and contact information are available at the above link and also posted outside the BSW Program Office (SSW Building A, Room 101) and on the BSW Bulletin Board on the first floor. Students may contact Ms. Waage or an advisor to make an appointment or may drop in during advising hours.
New students who have declared Social Work as their major will be classified as Social Work Intended and receive advisement through the School of Social Work. All other students are viewed as “undeclared” and receive advisement through the University Advising Center until they officially designate Social Work as their major.
Academic Transfers
No credit is given for life and/or work experience. Applicants, whether new or former students, who have attended another collegiate institution may not disregard any part of their academic record except as permitted under the “fresh start” option (see Academic Fresh Start Admissions page).
Criteria for transferable credits are a grade point average of at least 2.0. In addition they must meet the admission requirements for UT Arlington. A complete application for admission, an application fee and an official transcript from each college attended should be submitted to the Office of Admissions.
The following students should refer to the undergraduate catalog for specific admissions criteria:
- First Year Transfers (less than 30 college hours completed)
- Transfers With Sophomore or Higher Classification (30 or more college hours completed)
- Transfers With Degrees, Former and Continuing Students and Transient Admissions
Degree Plan
When the student is provisionally admitted to the BSW program, a degree plan is generated, reviewed and submitted for approval. After approval, a copy of the degree plan is mailed to the student and a copy is placed in the student’s file.

Course rolls are reviewed at the beginning of each semester. Students enrolled in a course without completion of required prerequisites will be dropped from the course.
