Who needs to be advised?
The official rule on who needs to be advised is found in the catalog:
Prior to advanced registration, all students who have earned fewer than 30 hours at UT-Knoxville or are on Academic Review are required to meet with an advisor during each main term of the academic year (i.e., during fall and spring). All other students are required to consult with an advisor for a substantial conference during a designated term each year. Students whose ID numbers end in an even digit are required to meet with an advisor during fall semester. Students whose ID numbers end in an odd digit are required to meet with an advisor during spring semester. This policy does not place a limit on advising for students. Students are encouraged to consult with a college or major advisor at any point during a term or academic year.
Having a problem registering for lessons, theory or piano class?
If you get an error when registering for applied music, theory, or piano class, it may be because your major is not declared as music. You can check your own profile on the computer or check with your advisor to see if you are a declared music major or minor. If you are not declared as a major, see Carolyn Anderson or Stephen Gray in the office or Dr. Barbara Murphy to change your major.
Even those declared as a music minor seem to have problems registering for these classes. Please check with Carolyn Anderson, Stephen Gray or Dr. Murphy to be added to lessons or theory classes.
