Tyler School of Art and Architecture: Academic Advising

Why Advising?

Here’s what advising is not:

We’re not a box to check once you finish registering.

How Can Advising Help You?

The Advising team can help you live, study, create and graduate better at Tyler

Instead, consider this office your information hub. 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 refer 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, you can focus more on developing your creativity.

Schedule an Appointment

We love meeting with you after registration. 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. Just ask.

 

To schedule an advising appointment, open TUportal and find the Appointment System channel on your Students Tools tab in the middle of the page and make your appointment. We look forward to seeing you.

Advising Beyond Registering for Classes

“We can do so much more than just register students for classes. We can help them get the most out of their whole college experience.”
