FOR INCOMING ORIENTATION STUDENTS
All incoming First-Year and Transfer students will be advised at their in-person orientation session. Make sure to check out the New Student Orientation site for information about signing up for your orientation session and keep an eye on your inbox for new information. Advisors are not able to meet with incoming students or clear their registration holds before their in-person orientation session.
Undecided Majors
Unsure which major you want? It is OK to be Unspecified! Select an AB or BS Unspecified major in Athena. The Exploratory Center advises Unspecified/Undecided students.
Request Appointment with an Explore Advisor
For First Year Students
All UGA students are required to be advised every fall and spring semester. You can’t register until you’ve had your advising appointment. Make an appointment shortly after drop/add to avoid a last-minute rush that might impact your ability to register on time. If you have questions about making an appointment, email your advisor.
How to Find your Advisor in SAGE
If you do not have an advisor in SAGE, please email askfranklin@uga.edu.
Your advisor and advising location will be assigned based on your major listed in Athena and your number of earned credit hours. To meet with the correct advisor, make sure your major is correct in Athena. (Note: Students with more than one major should be advised in each department.)
How to Check and Change your Major
Changing your major: If you have recently changed your major but have not been assigned a new advisor, please contact askfranklin@uga.edu.
Note: Students with more than one major should be advised in each department.
