Academic Advising

Navigating your way through college is easier with a little help. Our team of advisors is committed to ensuring you receive the assistance you need. Ivy Tech offers advising in three areas critical to your success:

ACADEMIC ADVISING
You are strongly encouraged to meet with an academic advisor to develop your class schedule and academic plans. By investing just a little time with an advisor, you’ll be well positioned to choose classes aligned with your needs and goals and graduate on schedule.

CAREER ADVISING AND PLANNING
Career advising and planning is essential for determining a future course of study or a future job decision. Our advisors work to understand your goals and help you explore your options, learn about wages and benefits associated with different careers, and improve your skills in areas like resume preparation and interviewing.

TRANSFER ADVISING
If you're thinking about continuing your education after leaving Ivy Tech, the Advising Center works closely with the Transfer Center to provide the most current information and resources for students interested in transferring their credits to a four-year college or university.

All new, transfer, and re-admitted degree-seeking are required to attend New Student Orientation before registering for classes. Orientation is offered on various days and time, and lasts 2 to 3 hours. You will meet with your advisor and schedule your classes during New Student Orientation.

Do I have to have an appointment to see my advisor in the Academic Advising Center?
We recommend strongly that you make an appointment with your advisor  this will give you and your advisor time to prepare for your meeting. Appointments are necessary if you want to discuss your degree progress, course schedule, degree changes, or transfer plans.

Walk-in advisors are available every day to address general questions about registration and schedule updates. Please note that you may have to wait for the walk-in advisor to be available, and that the walk-in advisor may not be your assigned advisor.

Can I be advised through e-mail?
We can answer very basic registration questions via e-mail. If your question involves your degree progress, course schedule, degree changes, or transfer plans, please make an appointment.

How do I know which classes I have to take?
You and your advisor will determine the courses that you need to take. These courses will be outlined in your Individual Academic Plan.

How do I register for classes?
We recommend strongly that you meet with your advisor before registering for classes. This is the best way to make sure that you are staying on track to graduate.

After you have planned your course schedule with an advisor, you can register online through Campus Connect. Go to the My Ivy Tech section and click on Course Search to look for classes, or click on Add or Drop Classes to register for classes or to adjust your schedule.

Can I drop or withdraw from a class?
Yes, but it is important to understand that there is difference between drop and withdraw:

DROP
A drop occurs within the first days/weeks of the term, and is accompanied by a 100% tuition refund. If you drop a course, this course will not appear on your official academic record. 

The official deadline date is determined by the number of weeks a particular course lasts. All official drop dates are e-mailed to students via their Ivy Tech e-mail account, and are posted at http://ivytech.edu/sellersburg/.

WITHDRAW
A withdraw occurs after the official drop deadline has passed. If you withdraw from a course, you will receive a W on your transcript, but this will not impact your grade point average. 

Withdrawn courses do count as attempted hours, and can potentially impact your financial aid eligibility. You should always consult with Financial Aid before withdrawing from a course.

Academic advising begins with entry to the college and continues through a series of meetings each semester during the student's first year.  A student is assigned to an academic advisor depending on his or her area of interest and the advisor's area of expertise.  Students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisors or faculty advisors before registering for classes.

The Academic Advising Center offers students advising and transfer services.  The staff in the Academic Advising Center are here to assist you in setting your educational and career goals.

Appointments are required.  The Academic Advising Center is located at the Terre Haute main campus in room D130.

AAC advisors would like to help you:

  • Successfully access and navigate higher education.
  • Clarify life and career goals.
  • Develop goal-oriented educational plans.
  • Interpret academic requirements and select appropriate courses.
  • Access available internal and external resources that enhance education.
  • Identify other experiences that will enhance life, educational, and cultural goals.
  • Develop critical thinking, decision-making, and independent learning skills.
