Academic Advising

** IMPORTANT UPDATE: Moody Academic Advisors will be seeing students on a drop-in basis ONLY from Thursday, January 9th through Wednesday, January 29th. No appointments will be available during this window. **

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.

Only drop-in advising is available at this time; appointments will be available beginning on Thursday, January 30.
