| At
Iowa, every student has an academic advisor.
You must see your advisor to register for classes or to change your registration
after classes begin, although
you can talk with your academic advisor whenever questions come up. Just
remember that advisors advise, you decide.
Academic
Advising Center
Academic advisors provide intensive support for students through
systematic and frequent contact. During Orientation you
will meet with your advisor to talk about graduation requirements, select
appropriate courses, and learn how to use campus resources effectively.
Most incoming
students are assigned to an advisor in the Academic
Advising Center (AAC). Some first-year students and transfer students
are assigned directly to a departmental advisor based on their intended
major.

Advising
etiquette
College may be the first time in your life you’ve had to make and keep
your own appointments. During your first year at Iowa, you will have several
types of appointments to set up with your advisor. Call to make appointments
(and to cancel those you can’t keep). There are many students to be seen,
and when you miss an appointment without calling to cancel it, another student
loses a chance to be advised during that time.
Failing to
make (or skipping) an appointment during early registration periods
may cause you to miss your registration day.
