ACADEMIC ADVISING Advising Information Major Advising Information Advising Contacts ADVISING INFORMATION What is the Academic Advising Center? The Academic Advising Center (AAC) is dedicated to student success. The AAC provides students with academic advising, guidance, and support during their first two years at UTEP enabling them to make well informed decisions. Professioal Advisors and student peer advisors help UTEP students with course selection, program requirements and goal-setting. Please call or visit us at: AAC Building - 1st Floor 915-747-5290 M-F 8:00 am - 6:00 pm How do I know if I am required to get advised each semester? Not every major requires advising. Prior to each semester students should review the Major Advising Information in the Schedule of Classes (pp. 18-24) or log onto www.utep.edu and click on your myutep.edu account. You can then check your “hold screen” for advising holds. Students will also receive an email a month prior to registration with a list of his/her holds. How do I know what courses to take? Students may obtain a degree plan at their major department or on the department’s website. Students should also meet with their department advisor or AAC advisor for additional clarification about courses. 18 How do I change my major? How do I complete TSI? A student planning to change majors should visit his/her (current) major department and obtain a change of major form. Then the student will take the form to the department of his/her desired new major. Students complete the Texas Success Initiative when they have passed the Reading, Writing, and Math sections of THEA, Accuplacer, or approved alternative; OR when they receive a “C” or better in a college-level writing, math, and reading-intensive course. Reading-intensive courses include HIST 1301 and 1302, POLS 2310 and 2311, SOCI 1301 and PSYC 1301. Education majors should consult an advisor in the College of Education regarding THEA requirements for acceptance into teacher certification program. What is TSI? The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) ensures that students entering a Texas public college or university are prepared for college-level math, writing, and reading-intensive courses. Entering students must take the Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA), Accuplacer, or other approved alternative prior to enrolling in any college or university. In accordance with Texas law, all non-exempt full-time or part-time freshmen in certificate programs or degree programs that enter public institutions of higher education must complete TSI assessment prior to enrollment at the university. What does it mean to be TSI required? To satisfy the Texas Success Initiative requirements at UTEP, entering students are encouraged to take Accuplacer, which also serves as a placement test for Math, English, and reading-intensive courses. Non-exempt students who don’t pass one or more sections of the test will be advised by the Academic Advising Center into an appropriate developmental course according to UTEP’s Developmental Education Accountability Plan. Summer 2009 | SCHEDULE OF CLASSES If I passed one or more sections of the TSI at another institution, will my TSI status transfer to UTEP? Yes. The Admissions Office evaluates TSI status when they evaluate transfer coursework. Are there any exemptions for TSI? Yes, if you think that you qualify for any exemptions check with the Admissions Office at 747-5890. Did you know? The Kinesiology Department will be advising all day Friday, March 27th. For more information you may reach them at (915) 747-7245.
