Academic Advisors

COVID-19 (Coranovirus Update, 3/19/2020)

Students who need assistance other than academic advising should see services in the Campus Assistance Options.

With the campus changes Georgia Tech has enacted for COVID-19, please know that your academic advisors are still be available remotely to reply to emails, handle registration issues, schedule video/phone advising meetings, and sign forms.  To accommodate this, we are asking students to use these process and procedures until further notice.

• Schedule an appointment as usual through GradesFirst.  
• Your advisor will then send you a BlueJeans link to have a video or phone advising appointment. 
• All documents and forms that you want to share with your advisor should be uploaded in the new ME/NRE Advising Canvas Site.

Undergraduate Advising Purpose
