Student Affairs

The division of Student Affairs in The College of Fine Arts, provides undergraduate students with a variety of services, including general academic advising, maintenance of student records, and evaluation of transferred course credit. Student Affairs constantly monitors the academic standing and progress toward a degree of each undergraduate student, and provides information and necessary approvals related to registration, concurrent enrollment at other institutions and study abroad. The Student Affairs office is also an excellent source of general student information and referral for other campus resources and support services.

The Division of Student Affairs coordinates the College of Fine Arts' participation in many student-related events and public programs, including New Student Orientation, New Student Welcome, Parents' Day, Honors Day, Honors Colloquium and Commencement.

What Do We Do?

Come on in

• if you want permission to take fewer than 12 or more than 17 hours during fall/spring semesters.
• if you want to make changes in your registration status after the 12th class day (fall/spring) or the 4th class day (summer only). Examples of changes requiring the approval of the Office of the Dean, Student Affairs include: changing a course to or from Pass/Fail status, dropping a course, and withdrawing from the University.
• if you need to update your local address. You may also do this online via the Registrar's Online Service ("ROSE") at http://www.utexas.edu/student/registrar/rose/ provided you know your Electronic Identifier ("EID").
• if you want to change your major to another department within the College of Fine Arts. (Caution: most degree programs have special admissions requirements. Contact the department into which you plan to transfer for details.)
• if you are having academic or personal difficulties and need assistance.
• if you wish to petition to have one class substituted for another (substitution petition) in your degree requirements.
• if you need to know whether and/or how courses transfer from another college/university to UT Austin.
• if you want permission to take a course concurrently at another school, through correspondence or University Extension, or if you want approval for credit by exam.
• when you have completed 60 hours and need a degree audit.
• when summoned by mail, e-mail or phone to visit the office.
• when you are ready to apply for graduation (You'll need to apply at the beginning of the semester you plan to graduate.)

REMEMBER

• always bring a photo ID with you when visiting the Office of Student Affairs or any advisor so that your identity may be verified before accessing your official records.
• the College of Fine Arts allows major changes ONLY during official advising times. Consult the Course Schedule for dates.
