Advising Audits
One of the best tools for advising is an advising audit. This is a computer-generated list of all your classes, as they apply to your degree plan.
You may also create and view your audits online using IDA, the Interactive Degree Audit. This option is available at all UT computers which have utACCESS, and you may also access IDA via ROSE.
AAS Advising bars are not disciplinary measures:
They are simply a tool we use to ensure students who can best benefit from advising actually take the time to come into the advising office. Advising bars are placed on your record just before registration. To get an advising bar removed, you must come in person for advising in the advising office or email/phone requesting that they be removed. For more information regarding advising bars please contact the Student Division of the College of Liberal Arts.
