BLA Advising

All undergraduate LARC students are required to be advised by our Academic Advisor, Diana Cortez, and their assigned LARC faculty advisor (see assignments below). You will have a block on your registration status until you meet with both advisors.

Here are the basic advising steps:

1. Testudo. Check your Appointment and Registration Status on Testudo. You should plan to have your advising done prior to this date.

2. Prepare. Review your degree audit and complete a Schedule Request Form prior to your appointment with Diana by finding your advisor using the tabs below (see the 'Schedule Request Form' link under your faculty advisor's tab). Class and advising blocks will not be lifted until you see both Diana and your faculty advisor so please plan ahead! If you are declaring a minor, or already have done so, please make sure to consult your minor advisor to make sure you are on track there as well.

3. Meet. Set up an appointment with Diana (Google calendar appointments available)  and with your assigned faculty advisor (below). Do not schedule an appointment during studio time or any other class. If none of the times above fit your schedule you may email Diana to set up a time to meet. Include your UID# as well. 

   1. Reminder: Please don't forget email etiquette when contacting your professors for advising. More information can be found on this blogpost: "What You Write Matters: Advice on Email Etiquette for Everyone."

4. Register. Complete and sign your digital Schedule Request Form so it may be sent to your faculty advisor for review and final approval. Once approved, your block will be lifted and you can go ahead and sign up for classes on your registration date!

NOTE: The designation of senior, junior, etc. is determined by your credit hours at the university and not by your studio.
