Advising Services
Undergraduate Student Advising
Undergraduate students with less than 90 earned credit hours are advised in the University Advisement Center (25 Park Place N.E., Atlanta). Advisors assigned to freshman, sophomore, and junior education majors are on the fifth floor.
Students with 90 or more earned credit hours have their own personal senior advisor in the College of Education & Human Development’s Office of Academic Assistance (OAA), who are assigned by major. To schedule an appointment, please call 404-413-8000.
Your senior advisor will assist you with:
- Building an academic plan towards graduation
- Reviewing completed undergraduate transfer credit
- Confirming eligibility for entry into a teacher education major
- Helping choose courses each term
- Explaining and administering college and university policies
- Planning for graduate school and your career

- Auditing you for graduation clearance
