Who is my advisor?
The Student Engagement Center (SEC) keeps a list of all business majors and their faculty advisors. All you need to do is call (229) 249-2624 or come by the SEC and we'll be glad to tell you who your advisor is.
How do I schedule appointments with my advisor?
Freshman, sophomore, and junior students who have not been formally admitted into the Harley Langdale Jr. College of Business are advised by the Student Engagement Center staff. Go to the Student Engagement Center on the third floor of Thaxton Hall anytime after the fourth week of the semester. An appointment is not necessary.
Junior and senior students who have been formally admitted to the Harley Langdale Jr. College of Business College should schedule appointments with their faculty advisor. If you do not know who your faculty advisor is, the Student Engagement Center can tell you his/her name and office location. Go to the faculty advisor's office the week before the official Week of Advising (about mid-term) and sign the sheet on the office for an appointment time. Just before your appointment, go to the Student Advising Center and get your advising folder.
How can I change my advisor?
Simply come to the Student Engagement Center and tell us whom you would like for an advisor and the change will be made.
