UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC ADVISING

The BBS Academic Advising Office is located in JO 2.110 and BBS Advisors are here to help you.

Advising Contacts

The BBS Advising Office does not assign students based on major or alpha of the last name — you are welcome to meet with any BBS Advisor. Any general inquiries, registration issues, or enrollment requests can be directed to [email protected].

When is the BBS Advising Office Open?

• Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 8:30am-4:00pm, for walk-in advising. The sign-in sheet for walk-in sessions will be removed when we have reached capacity for the day. During our busy times, October/November and March/April, we often remove the sign-in sheet as early as 12:00pm. We recommend arriving at the Advising Office as early as possible; mornings being the best time to come in.
• Thursday and Friday, 9:00am-3:30pm, for scheduled appointments.

When is the BBS Advising Office Closed?

• During Freshman Orientation
• During Official University Closures (check the UT Dallas website for weather-related closures)

How Can I Schedule an Appointment with a BBS Advisor?

• Make an online appointment:
• Note that you will get a “service unavailable” message if no appointments are available during a specific time slot.
• All BBS academic advisors are knowledgeable about all BBS degree plans, so you can either request to meet with a specific advisor or sign up for the next available advising appointment.
• You can avoid the last-minute rush by scheduling your advising meeting before the schedule of classes for the following term is published.

When Should I See a BBS Advisor?

• Freshmen (with fewer than 30 credits completed in BBS) must see an advisor before registering for classes each term.
• New transfer students must attend transfer orientation.
• Students with account holds must see an advisor to register.
• Students who encounter problems in registering should email the advising office.
• Students must see an advisor to complete a graduation audit prior to completing the on-line graduation application.
