go-to guide for your academic journey. Learn more and schedule an appointment whenever
you need.
A-State of Success Advising
Our advisors are your guide when you feel lost. Your steady hand when things get tough.
And your loudest cheerleader when you succeed. Learn more about how advising works
and connect with us as often as possible.

Professional Advisors
A-State has a team of professional advisors here to help you choose classes, plan
your degree path, and explore career options. Most students meet their advisor for
the first time before or during New Student Orientation.

Checking in with Your Advisor
As you register each semester, your professional advisor is available to talk about
your course plans, review your financial aid requirements, and help with anything
that might affect your progress. Only incoming first-year students are required to meet with an advisor prior to class
registration.
Schedule an Advising Session by Your College
If you're not sure who your advisor is, you can find them under the college of your major.
Haven’t picked a major yet? You’ll work with the University Advising Center. Just look under Exploratory Majors to find your go-to contact.
