Advising

Freshmen

As freshman, all students are part of the University College Advising Center regardless of intended or declared major.

Each incoming student is given an advising handbook with general advising information. In addition, each student is assigned an advisor who specializes in working with freshmen.

University College Advising Center is in North Quad 323, 765-285-1161.

Sophomores and Upper Classmen

When an elementary education major has been classified as a sophomore, the student is reassigned to the Teachers College Advising Center.

From sophomore status through graduation, the student's records are maintained in the same advising center. The TC Advising Center may be reached by phone at 765-285-8540.
