Advising

Am I in the right place?

If you are a current UT Sociology major, probably so! Though we may refer you to another campus resource for more detailed assistance, we're always eager to try to assist you as you navigate the university. That said, a few common concerns are handled primarily by other offices:

Texas One Stop: financial aid and billing; outgoing transcripts and certifications
Liberal Arts Career Services and Texas Career Engagement: career exploration, job search coaching, internship guidance, etc.
Liberal Arts Student Division: Q-drops, Withdrawals, Pass/Fail transactions; Graduation Applications and related items

To talk through your Q-drop, Withdrawal, and Pass/Fail options before visiting the Student Division, please make an appointment with us through the links in the next section.

Sociology Advising Contact

E-mail: gulliver@austin.utexas.edu

Drop-in Hours: Wednesdays 1:00-3:00 and Fridays 10:00-12:00

Drop-ins are available virtually or in person (in PAR 114-120)

Current Sociology Majors

Please feel free to visit us during out drop in periods or email us at gulliver@austin.utexas.edu for general inquiries. A good rule of thumb is to utilize drop in and that email for quick questions, especially any that would not involve looking up your academic record.

Students currently declared and pursuing the Sociology major can set up a meeting through the links below:

Last name A - Ho: daniel's Bookings Page

If you are not a Sociology major, please see the Admissions page of our website.

Newly Admitted Students
Welcome to the university! We look forward to working with you. Your first advising step is to sign up for orientation through New Student Services. As part of your orientation, you’ll meet one-on-one with an Academic Advisor. Because your registration time is tied to your orientation session, there is no registration advantage to meeting with an advisor prior to orientation. If you have a pressing question, though, please feel free to send it to gulliver@austin.utexas.edu.
Other UT Students
- For other inquiries from current or former UT students, you may visit us during drop-in or write the e-mail listed at the top of this page. Please note that our availability may be limited during high-traffic periods.
Prospective Students
