An Academic Advisor's job covers a great variety of duties from advising students to compiling the class schedule to attending University Academic Advising Committee meetings. By taking appointments, we can make sure we will be available and prepared for our meeting. If for some reason we need to cancel the appointment, we will use the contact information you gave us when you originally scheduled your appointment to notify you.
We do not currently take walk-ins for advising appointments, but we do have friendly and helpful staff members who are able to answer quick questions about frequent advising topics. You can also always send your question via email to wlc-advising@utah.edu. Otherwise, use the "Book Now" links above to make an appointment to meet with an advisor!
Ideally, you will come prepared for your appointment by first generating a new Degree Audit (CIS --> Degree Audit --> Run New Audit) for your declared programs ("Run Declared Programs") or potential programs ("Run What-If Audit") on CIS, reading the audit, then coming prepared with questions you have about it.
If you are making an appointment to purchase language credits, please bring in the results of your Placement Test score (usually WLC Placement Test results or FLATS results) so we can verify your eligibility, unless you took a 3000-level language course to become eligible.
If you are coming in to talk about the WLC Practicum, please review the practicum options worksheet here first, then come in with your questions.
Disclaimer: For an advisor to speak about or release student information via email or on the phone, a student must have e-signed the FERPA Consent to Release Form. This form can be found on CIS --> Financial Aid --> FERPA Consent to Release. Be sure to check the box for Academic Advising. If you are looking for advice through email, be sure to include your FERPA PIN in your original email. On the phone, please have it handy. That is how we can be sure it is you.
