In the event an emergency situation arises that requires the closure of the university or the cancellation of classes, ALL student programs and appointments for the affected calendar dates will be rescheduled. It is foreseeable that this rescheduling of appointments could create a hardship on students seeking academic advice (and the resolution of academic advising holds), especially with regard to an impending university deadline.

Students facing such a dilemma should immediately email their assigned academic advisor (or send an email to our general mailbox) of their concerns, questions, and issues requiring a more timely resolution. This will serve to create reliable, time-stamped documentation of the student's proactive efforts with regard to solving his or her own challenges, in addition to providing valuable input to advising personnel seeking to prioritize and reschedule appointments, programs, and other university commitments in coming workdays.

As stated above, all student appointments for the affected calendar dates will be rescheduled. To facilitate this process, the University Advising staff will review student schedules and advisor availability, and will automatically propose and tentatively schedule one new appointment based on the information available at the time of rescheduling. Students are responsible to call (806-742-2189) or email (advising@ttu.edu) to confirm that appointment within 24 hours of the original appointment time. Unconfirmed appointments are subject to further rescheduling as walk-ins to our office at 79 Holden Hall will be seen as advisor availability may allow on a first-come, first-served basis, or as prioritized by the triage advisor on duty.

As stated above, all student programming for the affected dates will be canceled, and will be rescheduled as the opportunity and circumstance may allow. Students should check their official TTU email account for any personal or group communications sent from the sponsoring program, and should also check the program's web site for other current updates.

Students advised in the University Advising Center have the extra benefit of all advising-related records being stored and maintained electronically. This means that every TTUA student appointment is available online for students to access on a 24-7 basis at www.advising.ttu.edu/myadvising, using their assigned eRaider username and current password.

This access should include all documentation created by TTUA advisors during student appointments (in person or via phone, email, or internet chat), workshop and event attendance, achievement of advising learning outcomes (see the advising syllabus for details), majors under exploration, advisor assignments, submissions via the Advising and Registration Checklist, certain general academic information, and any uploaded scans from face-to-face appointments.
