An academic advisor supports students in selecting courses that align with their educational
goals, degree requirements, and personal interests. They can also help develop a balanced
and strategic academic plan to keep students on track for a timely graduation. Students
will be assigned to a faculty advisor or professor in their major. It is vital to
schedule an advising appointment every quarter, or whenever questions or concerns
arise.
Tech Online students, enrolled in the fully online Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies, can schedule an advising appointment with your assigned advisor.
At Louisiana Tech University, we aim to foster an environment that promotes student
success by providing the necessary resources, support, and opportunities for students

experience. You’re now part of the Tech Family!
