Advising
COVID-19 UPDATES
Orientations for spring 2022 incoming students will be offered in person. To ensure the health and safety of our attendees, guests and staff, UTA requires that every attendee present a negative COVID-19 test result from within 72 hours of arrival at orientation. In lieu of this requirement, an attendee may opt to present their vaccine card to waive the testing requirement. For more information, please review our safety plan.

All freshmen are advised through the University Advising Center. Due to New Maverick Orientation going virtual, you should meet with an academic advisor prior to your orientation session. After you register for orientation, your advisor will contact you to inform you of any testing requirements you need to complete and provide you with a link to register for a 20-minute virtual advising appointment. During your advising appointment, please have any transcripts of dual credit coursework or test score results (AP, IB, etc.) on hand.
