College of Liberal Arts Advising Center

Our mission is to provide effective academic guidance to a diverse undergraduate student community.
Academic advisors are here to guide you through your time at Texas State.
Meet the College Liberal Arts Advising Center staff.

In addition to scheduled advising appointments, we are pleased to offer Drop-In Advising through Zoom!

On select days, academic advisors are available on a first-come, first-served basis to review students' schedules, assist with semester course selection, and answer questions about degree requirements. Unless otherwise noted, drop-in advising is available 8:30 am - 3:00 pm.

Tips for an Effective Virtual Advising Session

• Be prepared. To expedite the check-in process, please have your student ID number ready and test your microphone and speakers before clicking the Zoom link. 
• Check your connection. A number of students are experiencing connection issues when using a phone or tablet. For best results, we recommend using a desktop computer or laptop with a strong internet connection for the advising session.
• Pack your patience. Currently, the demand for academic advising is extremely high and wait times are longer than usual. We are working hard to meet the unique needs of each student and appreciate your patience.
• Be present. One of the benefits of virtual advising is the advisor's ability to share their screen with you. They will be reviewing course requirements and important information related to your degree, so please make sure you are in an environment and on a device that allows you to appropriately engage in the conversation.
