Advising for the Spring Semester

We will start Terry Advising this week through October 27th

Steps to Terry Advising

1. Fill out this form http://www.depts.ttu.edu/scholarships/TerryScholars/spring_advising-1.php
   1.  The plans to graduate semester by semester needs to be a detailed plan of courses and total hours that you will take in the coming semesters. The point of this is to ensure that you are taking enough hours and in the correct sequence to make the most of our funding as well as have a solid plan in place for study abroad and internships.
   2. Involvement needs list at least 3 activities or clubs that you are involved in or plan to. My suggestion is always: one for give back, one for fun, and one that has to do with your major. 
   3. To select multiple Terry Committees hold shift and click.
2. After you submit your form, the out page will give you the link to schedule your appointment. Please allow 24 hours between submitting your form and attending your advising session.
3. You will receive an email reminder 1 day before your advising appointment from Sign Up Genius.

Failure to sign up for and attend an advising session by October 27th will result in the scholar needing to wait until after November 17th to be advising and to have their hold moved.
