Graduate Advisors

Our graduate advisors are here to help you succeed academically in the UTA College of Education.

Graduate Advisors

Our staff advisors help students with registering for classes, and they can answer questions about enrollment, degree plans, transcripts, graduate school forms and policies, and more. If you have a question and you're unsure whom to contact, feel free to e-mail your staff advisor and your advisor will assist you or connect you with individuals/resources who can assist. Graduate advising is required for students each semester they are enrolled; students will not be able to enroll in classes until they have been advised and have been cleared/approved to enroll.
