Those who do not need to see a professional advisor in the Office of Nursing Student Services will be required to see a faculty advisor during the mandatory advising period.

Advising appointments for registration advising in the College of A&S Student Services Center is required for first-year A&S students (freshmen and transfers). We strongly encouraged those questioning their major or minor choice(s) to make appointments regardless of their classification. Ideally, students in their first semester at Alabama should make an appointment with the advisor they met in summer Bama Bound Orientation. After the first year, students who are confident in their major, with a 2.0 GPA, will meet with their major/faculty advisor about course registration and PIN clearing.
Zoom (15 minute) or face-to-face (30-minute) appointments will be available. The student will be able to choose their appointment type. Visit our Make an Appointment page. Advising by Appointment is the preferred method for PIN clear. Students have the option to pick their advisor and appointment type. For quick questions, not related to advising holds, students may attend virtual or in-office (200 Clark) on-call advising. Additional details can be found by visiting our On-Call Advising page. Students can meet with an academic advisor on days when UA is open for business hours: Morning (8 am – 12 pm): Appointment Only or Afternoons (1 pm – 4:30 pm); Appointment and/or On-Call Advising from 1 – 3:30 p.m.
