Advising for New Trojans – Freshmen

New Freshmen

Welcome to UA Little Rock! Before registering for classes, freshmen will meet with their advisor in one of three college advising centers. Academic programs at UA Little Rock are grouped within three colleges. Your advisor will contact you about making an advising appointment, so check your UA Little Rock email and/or phone for a message. If you are undecided about your major, you will be advised in the College of Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences, and Education.
