Advising
COVID-19 Updates
In response to the continued developments of COVID-19 and to support the health and wellbeing of our university community, all in-person Orientation programs scheduled for summer will be moved to an online delivery format. You should meet with an academic advisor prior to your orientation session. For questions, please email orientation@uta.edu or check out our FAQ page.
Freshman Advising
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.
Transfer Student Advising
All transfer students are advised through the academic department of their major. Due to New Maverick Orientation going virtual, you should meet with an academic advisor prior to your orientation session. After you register for orientation, you should contact your academic department. Different departments are handling advising appointments through virtual meetings, phone appointment, or email, so talk with your advisor about your preferred mode of advising. During your advising appointment, please have any transcripts of your previous college coursework on hand.
Graduate Student Advising
Graduate students are often academically advised through a separate orientation offered by their academic department. If a departmental orientation is not offered, students should contact their academic department to schedule an advising appointment.
