With the campus changes Georgia Tech has enacted for COVID-19, please know that your academic advisors are still be available remotely to reply to emails, handle registration issues, schedule video/phone advising meetings, and sign forms.  To accommodate this, we are asking students to use these process and procedures until further notice.

• Schedule an appointment as usual through GradesFirst.  
• Your advisor will then send you a BlueJeans link to have a video or phone advising appointment. 
• All documents and forms that you want to share with your advisor should be uploaded in the new ME/NRE Advising Canvas Site.

Undergraduate Advising Purpose

• Our mission is to support and inspire the development of Woodruff School undergraduate students.
• Our vision is that undergraduate academic advising in the Woodruff School will actively engage students in their educational experience so they can become independent, life-long learners who are innovative and contributing members in their larger community.

Undergraduate Advising Process
