UNLV Academic Advising Mission Statement

The mission of academic advising is to assist students by collaborating with them in identifying and pursuing their educational goals, providing accurate and timely information, and promoting student responsibility and accountability for their academic success.

Where do I go for academic advising?

All undergraduate students in the College of Education are strongly encouraged to meet with an academic advisor every semester. You can make an appointment with an academic advisor by calling (702) 895-1537. Appointments can take place in-person (preferred) or over the telephone. "Online advising" is available for NEWLY ADMITTED STUDENTS ONLY (click here) . During Fall and Spring semesters, the COE Undergraduate Advising Center is open Monday through Thursday, 8:00am to 7:00pm , and Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm. During winter and summer break, office hours are 8:00am to 5:00 pm, Monday-Friday. We are located in CEB 226.

What should I bring to my academic advising appointment?

  1. If you are a newly admitted student transferring from another institution, you should bring course descriptions for all of your transfer coursework. Course descriptions can be found in an institution's catalog.
  2. If you are a student with transfer work that has not yet been evaluated, you should bring copies of all of your transfer transcripts.
  3. An updated and completed copy of your degree sheet so that you and your advisor can discuss course requirements and plan future semesters.
  4. All students should come prepared with a list of planned courses for the upcoming semester as well as questions! To assist you with your planning use the Advising Appointment Prep Sheet [PDF] [Microsoft DOC]
