Advising is required for each student each semester. If you do not have an advisor in SAGE or have any other questions, please email askfranklin@uga.edu. How to find your advisor and make an appointment in SAGE 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. Franklin students in the Honors Program should visit Honors Program Advising for more information. Lower-division advising no-show policy: Advising appointments must be cancelled before 8am of the day of the appointment. If a student cancels after 8am or does not show for their appointment, they are considered a “no-show” and must then make a “No-Show Advising Appointment.” These no-show appointments are offered on a limited basis after the withdrawal deadline each semester. More information about this policy will be included in the email you receive if you no-show your appointment. 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 askfranklin@uga.edu. Additional Advising Resources Graduation Advising: The Graduation Certification Office informs and advises students regarding progress towards graduation. Graduation advisors work with students and relevant departments to maintain the accuracy of academic records and certify students for graduation in the appropriate term.
