Group Advising Appointment

Group Advising Appointments

Group advising appointments are scheduled after you have completed your UAFS New Student Form in your UAFS application status portal. If you have any questions, please call the ROAR First-Year Advising Center at 479-788-7400.

Group advising appointments are for entering freshmen who will begin classes in the fall semester. These appointments take place in the summer before your first semester at UAFS. During this appointment, you will meet with an advisor, declare your major, and register for your first semester of classes.

To make the most of your group advising session, please complete the steps below and come prepared for your scheduled appointment.
