Academic Advising
To help students stay on track in their degree program, students cannot register for classes until they have been advised. Only when students meet with their advisor are their 鈥渁dvising holds鈥� removed, enabling students to register.
Academic Advising and Transfer Services
Undergraduate students with less than 30 completed college credit hours and/or not enrolled in MA 126 (Calculus 2) (not including in-progress courses) are advised by an Academic Advisor. You can learn more about this program on the Academic Advising and Transfer Service鈥檚 page.
To make an advising appointment with your assigned academic advisor in the AATS, please click on Navigate 老司机福利网 and select a date and time. You may also call (251) 341-4017 or stop by the Academic Advising and Transfer Services Center in the Student Academic Services building.
Fall & Spring Advising
The AATS is open all year round for student advising. However, in order to register
for your next classes on time, you must meet with your Academic Advisor before or
on your scheduled registration date (see your time ticket in PAWS for that date).
Students are encouraged to meet with their advisor in the Academic Advising and Transfer Services Center as often as they need. Academic advisors meet with students year round. First year students are also welcome to schedule an appointment to meet their faculty advisor. We encourage students to make these appointments after the initial Advising Deadline and after they have finalized their schedule for the next semester.
College of Engineering Advising Times
Engineering students who are enrolled in MA 126 will be assigned to the Director of Academic Advising, Mr. Derik Wolfe, wolfe@southalabama.edu, to help with the transition from AATS to Engineering Departmental advising. Once engineering students have successfully completed MA 126, they are assigned to their final advisor, a faculty advisor within their major department. The dates below are the timelines to meet with advisors for the upcoming semester. Appointment times do fill up, so please plan to schedule advising appointments well in advance.
Students who haven鈥檛 selected a field of engineering to pursue are designated 鈥淓ngineering General Studies鈥� and are advised by the Dean鈥檚 Office.
Students are able to meet with the Director of Academic Advising as often as needed.
Academic Probation Holds
An Academic Probation hold (triggered by GPA below 2.0) cannot be removed by your academic advisor. To remove this hold so that you can register, you must make an appointment with either Dr. Eric Steward, Associate Dean, esteward@southalabama.edu or Mr. Derik Wolfe, Director of Academic Advising, wolfe@southalabama.edu prior to the registration date. More details of the College Academic Probation Policy are here.
