Academic Advisement
(Board of Regents Resolution No. 19-14)
Academic advisement is mandatory for all full- or part-time students, transfer students, and high school advanced placement students. The signature of a designated advisor is required to complete the registration process.
The following are the five categories of undergraduate students and who their designated advisors are:
If you are: |
Your advisor is: |
---|---|
Undeclared with less than 30 credits | EMSS counselors or college advisors if you are undeclared in a college. |
Declared with less than 60 credits | College advisors for the major you have declared or program you are in. |
Undeclared and a transfer student | EMSS counselors |
Declared and a transfer student | College advisors if declared or undeclared in a college. |
Declared and not covered by any of the above | Academic major faculty advisors in the college/school, as assigned by the dean. |
As a requirement for graduation, academic evaluation must be requested from the Records
Office once 60 credits or approximately half of the required credits for graduation
have been completed. (See Degrees: Requirements and Regulations). Unofficial Evaluations
of a student’s program are available anytime through WebAdvisor. Should the students
or their advisors discover that their records are incomplete, the registrar will assist
the advisor in bringing the academic records up-to-date.
A student must declare a major by the beginning of the sophomore year (30 credits). Students who transfer to UOG with more than 30 credits must declare a major by the beginning of their second semester at UOG.

Advisement is essential to the planning of appropriate and efficient student schedules. Students must consult with their program advisor and receive signatory approval before they register.
A student who has completed less than 30 credit hours and who has not yet declared a major must consult the Student Counseling Office for advisement.

Students are advised to check with their advisor concerning specific recommendations of their major; for example, certain major areas strongly recommend or require specific General Education courses as a part of the major.

Academic advisement is provided to assist students throughout their educational career as they prepare to become competent entry-level professionals. The faculty advisor monitors the student’s progress, provides consultation in planning a course of study, and assists in problem solving regarding classroom, clinical practice, and field course work. The advisor serves as an “anchor person” with whom students may confer regarding any program-related problem or question.
Students are advised to email soh.help@triton.uog.edu for all advisement inquiries.

Pre-nursing students without an assigned advisor should seek advisement by emailing soh.help@triton.uog.edu. All other pre-nursing and nursing majors should seek out their assigned academic advisor.
