What is Academic Advisement?

Advisement at ETSU is defined as:
"a continuous interactive process between an advisor and a student, which facilitates the development and achievement of the student's overall career and academic goals."

Academic Advisement Tips

  • Your advisor is a great resource. Don't hesitate to contact them if you need assistance.

  • Check your campus post office box and goldmail account at least every few weeks.

  • Make an advisement appointment prior to your scheduled registration date.

  • Registration for summer and fall for returning students is in April.

  • Registration for spring for returning students is in November.

  • Undeclared and Developmental Studies Program students are required to see an advisor prior to registering.

  • Your advisor will clear your registration hold at your advisement appointment.

  • Early advisement gives students more choices on classes and class times.

  • Take care of registration holds well before registration time (library fines, parking tickets, immunizations, etc.).

  • Make a list of questions to take to your advisement appointment.

  • Use GoldLink or the Schedule of Classes and choose classes and times that you would like to take. Bring to your advisement appointment.
