Academic Advising

The Advising team can help you live, study, create and graduate better at Tyler. We’re not a box to check once you finish registering.

How Can Advising Help You?

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.

Drop-add. Navigating study abroad. Referrals to eye-opening classes and brand-new programs. Registration secrets. Helping with financial aid. These are the type of things our Advising team can help with.
