Student Services Center
Mission Statement
The mission of the College of Architecture and Design Student Services Center is to provide academic advising, planning, and assistance to compliment the education of future design professionals. The Center manages student data, admissions, recruitment and retention. In addition, the Center provides students with study abroad opportunities, career planning, mentoring programs, tutoring, and enrollment as they begin their journey to becoming space, technology and place makers.
Advising
The college maintains a Student Services Center open to all Architecture and Interior Design majors. Students may drop-in or may schedule an appointment by calling 865.974.3232. The Director of Student Specialist oversees all academic advising, and along with the Student Services Assistant, aids students with common questions regarding financial aid, course registration, course records, scheduling, grades, transfer policies, petitions, and other academic policies. Three graduate students assist in the Center.
Prior to advanced registration, all students who have earned fewer than 30 hours at the university or who are on Academic Review are required to have a meeting with an advisor. All other students are required to consult an advisor for a substantive conference during a designated term each year. Students whose ID numbers end in an even digit are required to meet with an advisor during the fall semester. Students whose ID numbers end in an odd digit are required to meet with an advisor during the spring semester. This means students will be advised once a year instead of each semester. This policy does not place a limit on advising for students. Students are encouraged to make an advising appointment at any point during the semester or academic year when needed. The advising conference should include a review of the student’s overall progress toward a degree as well as a discussion of issues which are important to the individual student. At the end of this conference, the student will receive clearance for enrollment on Circle Park Online (CPO).
The student, not the advisor, bears the ultimate responsibility for selecting courses, meeting course prerequisites, and adhering to policies and procedures.
The Student Services Center has a part-time recruiter available to answer questions from prospective students and conduct tours of our award-winning facilities. The recruiter is also involved in outreach and recruiting events both in-state and out-of-state. Please call 865.974.3232 to schedule a visit.
