Office Hours

The International Relations and Global Studies advising suite is located in RLP 1.216. 

We are open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to Noon, and 1:00 PM to 4:30 p.m.

Days that Academic Advisors are in office or remote may vary. Please review our calendars for in-person or online appointments.

 

 

If you are a current UT International Relations and Global Studies major, then this may be the right place! Though we may refer you to another campus resource for more detailed assistance, we're always eager to try to assist you as you navigate the university. That said, a few common concerns are handled primarily by other offices:

To talk through your Q-drop, Withdrawal, and Pass/Fail options before visiting the Student Division, please make an appointment with us through the links in the next section.  

For internal transfer information, please see our Prospective Students page.

Please do not sign up for an appointment prior to attending an info session.

If you have questions, please email IRG@austin.utexas.edu.

Welcome to the university! 

We look forward to working with you. Your first advising step is to sign up for orientation through New Student Services. As part of your orientation, you’ll meet one-on-one with an Academic Advisor. Because your registration time is tied to your orientation session, there is no registration advantage to meeting with an advisor prior to orientation. Additionally, we will not be able to clear your Holds prior to Orientation.

If you have a pressing question, though, please feel free to send it to IRG@austin.utexas.edu.

Registration advising sessions are quick meetings to review your degree audit and discuss courses for the coming semester. Registration advising is only required for some IRG students so check your Registration Information Sheet to see if you have a bar. IRG students without a bar may also elect to meet with an advisor. If you currently are studying abroad, an IRG advisor will contact you via email with special instructions.  

Please keep in mind that as an IRG major, you do not have "special" access to courses on the track lists. Please do not contact the offering departments for access. Restrictions may loosen during subsequent access periods.

 

More information on steps to prepare for registration can be found HERE.  

To schedule an appointment, you can use the link below, call us at (512) 232-6344, or stop by our office in RLP 1.216.
Please note: We only accept appontments and do not accept walk-ins, except during the first week of class.
