In the School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences, the Associate Dean for Academic Programs maintains an undergraduate academic advising office. Undergraduate academic advisors are non-faculty professional staff members who assist students in designing an appropriate program of study that satisfies requirements for graduation.
This includes course selection, coursework difficulties, degree requirements, study skills, and time management. Students should note that, although advisors are here to guide them through programs of study, students themselves are responsible for knowing the rules and regulations that involve these programs, including their degree plans, and other aspects of student life at UTD.
For advisors to assist students, students should plan to meet with their assigned advisor at least once per year. And, students who are in one of the following categories must meet with their advisor prior to registration: freshman, new transfer, non-degree, academic probation, change of major in the previous semester.
School advisors typically are available on a walk-in basis during regular and late registration periods each semester. At other times, students may email or call their assigned advisor in order to schedule an appointment.
