Where Do I Start?

Do I Need to See an Advisor?

You must meet with your academic advisor prior to registration if you fit in one of the following categories:

• Freshmen
• New transfer students
• Non-Degree students
• Students on probation
• Students that changed their major the previous semester

If you are a first-year or transfer student, you must attend orientation. You will be contacted by your assigned academic advisor prior to your Orientation session to register for classes.

Academic Advisors

These are non-faculty professional staff members. They are available to assist students in designing an appropriate course of study that will satisfy requirements for graduation. Academic Advisors are knowledgeable about the technicalities of UT Dallas and program requirements. All students seeking a bachelor’s degree should meet at least annually with their academic advisor to discuss degree requirements, course selection, time management, study skills, difficulties with coursework, career opportunities and personal problems.
