Academic Advising
All Fulbright first-year students are required to see an academic advisor before registering for classes. It is highly recommended that students continue meeting with an advisor each semester.
College and Departmental honors students will be advised in the Fulbright College Honors Program (FCHP). We are located in Old Main 525.
Below are our college honors and departmental honors checksheets. You can also visit the Fulbright Advising Center website for up-to-date major maps and academic planning resources.
ADVISING OPTIONS
Walk-In / Call-Back Advising
Monday (8/5) to Friday (8/9): Walk-in/call-back advising available 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM. (Due to New Student Orientation, there will be limited advising availability this week.)
Appointments and walk-in advising will not be available on Monday (8/12) due to A-Week festivities.
Tuesday (8/13) to Friday (8/23): Walk-in/call-back advising available 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM each weekday.
During the dates above, Fulbright Honors students can sign in at the front desk of Old Main 525 for in-person advising or call our office at 479-575-2509 for call-back advising. Please be prepared to wait until it is your turn on the list. Call-back advising does not push you to the front of the list.
When calling for call-back advising, be prepared to give your phone number, student ID number, major, and a brief description of what you need to talk about. An honors advisor will call you back at the number you provide. If you do not answer when called, your name will be removed and you will need to call the Fulbright Honors office again in order to be added back to the bottom of the waitlist.
**We will not be doing call-back advising until 1:00 PM on Monday and Tuesday**
Note: advisors will not be accepting appointments during the walk-in time period.
To schedule an appointment:
- Make sure you know who your assigned advisor is. You can see this information in the
Degree Audit tile in your UA Connect account.
