Advising is required for each student each semester.

Lower-division advising: Lower-division advising involves choosing courses to complete the UGA core, as well as selecting the appropriate sequence of introductory classes for a student’s major. Lower-division advising is centralized in Franklin College’s Office of Academic Advising in 301 Brooks Hall.

Departmental advising: As students progress into their major course work, they are advised in their academic department. Students should find their major in the table below for information on departmental advising.

  • The point at which departments begin advising varies by major.
  • Students with more than one major should be advised in each department.
     

Changing your major: If you have recently changed your major but have not been assigned a new advisor, please contact Pamela Ollie-Waller. (Orientation students changing majors should contact Kellee Green)
