Academic Advising Information:

The Fulbright College Advising Center cares about your questions and well-being. We are here to support you!

 Our current space does not allow us to safely distance ourselves to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19. After many considerations, we’ve decided that the best way to communicate with students in a safe, confidential way, is to offer remote advising via email, phone, or Teams. Here are some ways you can contact us:

Email your advisor directly 

(Click on the "Degree Audit" tile in UA Connect to find your advisor's contact information.)

Email our Fulbright main account at fcac@uark.edu

Call our main office at 479-575-3307

 We appreciate your understanding!

A Note to Our Students Impacted by Hurricane Laura  

 

We hope you and your loved ones are safe during this time. Your safety and well-being are of the highest priority to us. We know that the impact of the storm may add barriers to your online and remotely taught courses this semester and are here to support you during this challenging time.  

First, please contact your instructors as soon as you are able and let them know if you have been impacted by the storm and what kinds of accommodations you may need.  

Next, know that the UA has several resources to help support you, too!
