Academic Advising

** IMPORTANT UPDATE 1: During the registration period from April 7th - April 18th, advisors are meeting with students on a drop-in basis ONLY. No appointments can be scheduled during this time. **

** IMPORTANT UPDATE 2: There will be no drop-in advising on Monday, April 21, 2025. **

The Student Advising Office is an integral part of the Office of Undergraduate Education and our staff is dedicated to the success of all undergraduate students in the Moody College of Communication. We offer both scheduled and drop-in advising. Schedule an appointment using STAR or check in for drop in advising below.

The “Schedule First Available Appointment” option will schedule you for whichever advisor happens to be available at the day and time you choose. To meet with a specific advisor, scroll down to the appropriate person and click on their “Schedule an appointment” link.

Please be on time for your advising appointments, as the Student Advising Office enforces a ten-minute rule for scheduled appointments. If you are more than 10 minutes late, you may be asked to reschedule.
