Prospective undergraduate students should email ahtUGinterest@utdallas.edu or fill out this form.

Advising is an integral part of the university experience. Your advisor will assist you in developing a meaningful educational plan compatible with your career and personal goals. Advisors will help to design an appropriate course of study that will satisfy your requirements for graduation as well as offer information on particular courses and University rules and procedures.

UTD Advising Mission Statement: The University of Texas at Dallas undergraduate academic advising is a collaborative process between students and their advisors that provides a path for student success. Academic advising supports student achievement of academic and professional goals, promotes student academic ownership, and fosters a sense of belonging to the campus community.

Advisors meet with students by appointment only. Please see the appropriate contact information below that matches your major and last name.

Meet the Undergraduate Advisors

Bass School undergraduate advisors guide current UTD students through the degree requirements for a Bachelor of Arts in Arts, Humanities, and Technology. Each student has a tailored experience to ensure that each student is assigned to an advisor based on their last name. This allows each advisor to cultivate a lasting relationship with their advisees and provide relevant information to the student’s experience. Academic advising in the Bass School is a collaborative process and requires active participation by both the student and the advisor. Ultimately, the student is responsible for their own educational experience.

For additional undergraduate information for current students, view the Undergraduate Studies page on My Resources.

Prospective Students

Advisors are a great source of information regarding the Bass School and our majors. Our advisors participate in many recruiting events for prospective undergraduate students. Prospective students should highly consider attending one of these events to learn more about our programs as well as the UT Dallas campus and admissions process. Many of these events allow students to be waived of their admissions fees.

Advisors are available to meet one-on-one with prospective students. Read how you can request a personalized tour. Please note that our advisors’ availability may be limited during registration periods. UT Dallas also offers pre-admissions counseling through the Office of Admissions.

Student studying

Current Students

Our advisors in the Harry W. Bass Jr. School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology assist students in reaching their ultimate goal of graduation. They meet with students to discuss degree requirements, course enrollment, student success skills, difficulties with coursework, career options, and personal problems. Our advisors are experts in helping students find the resources they need to be successful and are passionate about doing all that they can to help students.

Each student has a tailored experience to ensure that each student is assigned to an advisor based on their last name. Caseloads allow each advisor to cultivate a lasting relationship with their advisees and provide relevant information to the student’s experience. Academic advising is a collaborative process in the Bass School and requires active participation by both the student and the advisor.

Our advisors are committed to helping you have an efficient, productive meeting. When you schedule a meeting, please make sure you have thought through exactly what you would like to accomplish during the meeting. Please see the “Schedule Appointment” link under your advisor’s name above.

*Students: While advisors confer with you about courses and educational experiences, you are responsible for defining your academic program and for making progress toward your degree. You will verify your class schedule each semester and see that necessary transactions are completed by the published deadlines. You also are responsible for all documentation related to schedule changes, dropping or withdrawing from classes, and other transactions. Ultimately, the student is responsible for their own education experience.

Parents and Families

While students bear the primary responsibility for their education and academic career at UT Dallas, parents and family members still have an important role to play. The Comet Families website is a useful tool to help them support their students and be involved at the University. Also, the Student Counseling Center offers resources to help students; and family may receive consultation regarding questions or concerns about their student from this center as well.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects a student’s privacy. Should a family member wish to attend an advising appointment with their student, they and their student will need to complete the release paperwork.
