Academic Advising

Why Advising?

Consider this office your information hub. Need writing assistance? Got a hold on your registration? Having academic anxiety or roommate issues? Need help managing your studio time and classes? Want to study abroad?

As a Tyler student you have the vast resources of Tyler and Temple University at your disposal, but they’re not always easy to find. From orientation and registration to graduation, we can connect you to student clubs, job resources, a new major and help you graduate on time.

Our best advice? Visit us early and often. If we make your life easier, that’s how much more you can create.

Schedule an Appointment

We love meeting with you even after you’re done registering. We can connect you to career resources, clubs, internships, tutoring, arts events and more. So much is possible at Tyler and the greater Temple universe, you just have to ask.
