Students advised in the Division of Student Success (freshmen, students that graduated high school in the last year, UT-CAP, & transfer students with less than 24 credit hours) need to complete a Self-Guided Academic Advising Short Course before registering for classes.

Why is This Important?

  • Covers degree requirements, advising, registration, and credit verification
  • Must be completed at least two weeks before your New Maverick Orientation
  • Allows you to time to smoothly register for courses

The sooner you complete the Self-Guided Advising Course, the sooner you can register for classes!
