The University of Texas at Austin views sound academic advising as a significant responsibility in educating students, supports orderly and timely progress toward a degree, and encourages effective academic advising campus-wide.
Academic advisers help students:
- develop intellectual potential
- explore educational opportunities and life goals
- learn about educational options, degree requirements, and academic policies and procedures
- clarify educational objectives
- plan and pursue programs consistent with abilities, interests, and goals
- use all resources of the University to best advantage
- stay up to date with current academic information
- promote progress toward educational goals
Students are responsible for:
- seeking academic advising
- knowing and meeting degree requirements
- enrolling in appropriate courses to ensure orderly and timely progress toward a degree
Academic advising may or may not be required to register for classes in a given major. See "Advising Note" in the table below to determine if your major requires academic advising:
Advising Required:
Advising bars must be cleared by the major department online. Until the bar is cleared, you will not have access to the registration system.
No Advising Required:
You can still choose to meet with an adviser at the advising locations listed below.
Undergraduates with Simultaneous Majors:
Follow the advising procedures of both majors.
Special Advising Area Major Codes:
First four digits correspond to a specific major code, and the last two digits represent the special advising area. For example: 240919 is the finance major code for the prelaw special advising area. The advising note is R and advising location is CBA 2.400.
