The responsibilities of the academic advisor at UT Arlington are to:
- Empower students to discover and attain their academic and life goals;
- Serve as an advocate for student success;
- Serve as an interface to university services; and
- Provide accurate information about academic standards and requirements in a timely and efficient manner.
Establishing a strong connection with your academic advisor puts you on the right track for academic success.
