Frequently Asked Questions
Who is my assigned advisor?
Your assigned advisor can be found on Degreeworks. Degreeworks can be accessed through Uconnect.
When should I make an appointment with my advisor?
You should schedule an appointment at least once throughout the semester. Students usually meet with advisors before registration starts; March for Fall/Summer registration and October for Spring registration.
I have a hold that says, "6 State Drops Remaining". How do I clear it?
The 6 State Drops was enacted by the Texas Legislature to prohibit students from dropping more than six classes during their undergraduate degree. This hold serves as a notification to students to know how many drops they have remaining. This hold does not prevent registration so no need to clear it.
I have a hold that says, "Foreign Language Graduation Requirement". How do I clear it?
This hold is also a notification to students as a reminder that they are still pending the Foreign Language Graduation Requirement. This requirement can be met different ways, according to your catalog. Your advisor can let you know how this requirement can be met. This hold also doesn't prevent registration however, it will clear when you have met the requirement.
