Student Advisement
Students are encouraged to visit with their advisors for degree and class schedule planning. At announced times, all currently enrolled undergraduate students and currently enrolled graduate students who have been admitted to a graduate program or are seeking teacher certification will be permitted to early register for courses in the subsequent term. All newly admitted first time freshman will register for courses at orientation.
Students who may need to be assigned a faculty advisor or who want to know who their faculty advisor is should contact the Academic Advising Center (advising@utpb.edu). Students may not register for conventionally taught partially self-paced courses after the last day of late registration. Students who need to: obtain their advisor's name, be assigned an advisor or be advised through email can reach out to the advising center via advising@utpb.edu. In the e-mail, state the assistance needed, your major and your full name as it appears on your student records. Someone will respond by e-mail within two working days.
Because advising by e-mail may require several e-mail exchanges, students should not plan to use e-mail as the sole method of getting academic advice during the last week before classes begin. For continuing students that need to schedule an appointment to either visit with or speak to an advisor they can do so by directly scheduling appointments though the advising website.
