Undergraduate Advising Center

Who should make an appointment?

The UAC advises students admitted to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) with less than 90 hours who are:

• Still deciding on a major.
• Considering a specific CLAS major but:
  1. are not yet eligible to declare/apply, or
  2. are still exploring.
• Are pre-professional. That is, they are currently taking CLAS course work in hopes of being admitted to one of the professional schools (e.g., Business, Education, Pharmacy, etc.).
• Not admitted to the University Honors Program. Honors students are advised by the Honors Program.

CLAS students who have successfully declared a major are advised by their academic department. Students admitted to professional schools are advised by their respective schools.

Many schools and College departments offer advising for students not yet admitted to their programs, especially during peak enrollment.

Your appointment

When calling to make an appointment, you should:

1. Have your schedule in front of you.
2. Know your KUID number or have it in front of you.
3. Know who you want to meet with (if you have a specific advisor in mind).
4. Write down the date and time of the appointment, as well as the advisor's name.
5. Schedule your advising appointment during your free time. This appointment will not excuse you from your class.

Please note: The only way we have to look up your appointment is by the advisor's name or the date and time of the appointment. If you have forgotten both of these, you will likely have to reschedule.

When coming to your appointment, you should:

1. Remember the name of your advisor. We have approximately 30 advisors you could be scheduled with so it is imperative that you remember with whom you're meeting. If you don't know the name of your advisor you may be asked to reschedule.
2. Arrive on time, if not a few minutes early. If you arrive ten minutes or more late to your appointment, you will have to reschedule.
3. Bring a copy of your ARTS form. You can print it from this website.
4. Bring any relevant paperwork, e.g. if your appointment is for a ROTC four year plan, you should bring the required ROTC form.
