All undergraduate students who have earned fewer than 30 hours at UT or are on Academic Probation are required to meet with an advisor during each main term of the academic year (fall and spring). All other students are required to consult with an advisor for a substantial conference during a designated term each year. Students whose ID ends with an even number (including zero) are advised in fall for spring registration, and students whose ID ends with an odd number are advised in spring for fall registration. The Tickle College of Engineering strongly encourages all students to meet with their academic advisor every term before registering.

The CBE Advising Office will have walk-in hours from the beginning of each term, through the add/drop deadline. These appointments are for addressing issues regarding the current term courses only. If you need to be seen for an issue outside of that current term, please email your advisor so that an appointment can be scheduled. You can also view the Advising FAQ page, as the answer to your questions may be there.

Once the add/drop deadline has passed, students will be seen by appointment. For students who have required advising during the fall or spring terms, you will receive an email from your Academic Advisor containing a link to schedule your advising appointment. All appointments are made through Vol Academic Connect (Navigate), available via MyUTK.

If you believe that you have required advising and did not receive a link to schedule an appointment, first review the Advising Policy for UT to see if you match the criteria for a required appointment. If you do, then please contact your advisor so that a link to make an appointment can be sent to you.
