Jeff Casey

Regular Advising Hours:
Monday through Friday 9:00am – noon and 1:00pm – 4:00pm

Students are expected to make appointments for advising sessions, except during high volume advising, orientation, registration and add/drop periods when advising will be provided on a walk-in basis.

Academic advising addresses a variety of student concerns, such as course schedules, degree and departmental requirements, selecting courses, problems with a class or professor, referral to other UT services, life/career goals, and information about graduate or professional school.

Students should meet regularly with the advisor to ensure that they are on track to graduate and making the most of their academic careers. Students in their last two years of coursework should meet with their adviser at least once a semester to review their degree audit and confirm that they are fulfilling their degree requirements.

Students should also review their own Interactive Degree Audit online to stay apprised of their academic progress.

Jeff Casey is the full-time academic adviser for the Department of Philosophy. He has worked in the Department of Philosophy on and off since 1997 when he was a peer advisor while pursuing his B.A. in Philosophy and English; he also has a MA in Creative Writing from The University of Texas at Austin Department of English.

The Bouwsma Undergraduate Advising Center

The Bouwsma Advising Center is in WAG 313. Students can go there for advising, to meet and study with friends, or to find information about graduate schools, law schools, and UT resources.
