How to Schedule an Advising Appointment
Current or Readmitted Student
Important update for scheduling appointments!
Current Students: Scheduling with your Academic Advisor
- We have updated our scheduling processes by utilizing a new platform during our Fall 2024 semester: Microsoft Bookings!
- All students in our College who have required advising this semester will get an email invitation from their advisor to schedule their appointment. Advisors will start sending out invitations to their Seniors first, then Juniors, then Sophomores. All Freshman will have invites no later than November 1st.
- If you do not have required advising, and you want to meet with your assigned advisor, please email your advisor to see if they have availability for an appointment. They will work to get you seen as soon as possible.
Recently Readmitted Students and Current Students Majoring in Other Colleges at UT (i.e.: Haslam, Herbert, Tickle, etc.)
