Undergraduate Academic Advising

Academic advising engages students beyond their own world view, recognizing the "art of possibility."

Mays Business School provides academic advising to business students according to lower-level or upper-level status.

Who is your academic advisor?

Lower-level business students (BUAD, BUAG) receive advising from academic advisors in the Undergraduate Program Office (UPO), 238 Wehner. The academic advisors and graduate assistants of the UPO are available to serve all business freshmen and sophomores.

You are encouraged to meet regularly with an advisor. Although you are not assigned to a specific advisor, you may request to meet with the advisor of your choice.
