Advising Appointments

Students preparing to study abroad may work with several different campus advisors. We know it can get confusing, so these descriptions explain which advisors can help you with what and when to meet with them.

Academic Advising

Inform your Academic Advisor that you're planning to study abroad. Academic Advisors help students figure out when to study abroad.

Your Academic Advisor is most familiar with your unique degree plan, so meeting with them at the beginning of the planning process ensures you don't graduate late. Tell your Academic Advisor, “I want to build study abroad into my degree,” and they'll explain how and when a term abroad fits into your degree and keeps you on track to graduate. Additionally, your Academic Advisor can answer questions about which courses you still need to graduate, which is critical when choosing the credits you want to earn abroad. If your Academic Advisor is unsure about anything related to study abroad, don't worry - we work closely with Academic Advisors to make sure you can go abroad and graduate on time!

To schedule an advising appointment with your Academic Advisor to discuss your plan to study abroad, visit your Raider Success Hub.

Meet with a Study Abroad Advisor

Students are expected to come prepared to appointments with their Study Abroad Counselor. To prepare, arrive with a clear understanding of which study abroad program options interest you and which credits you want (or need) to earn for your degree. Also make sure you've completed your online TTU Study Abroad application.

Make an Appointment Based On Your Location of Interest:

Appointments are scheduled on a first come, first served basis. Appointments should be made online and not by contacting the Counselor directly. Make an appointment with the appropriate Counselor based on your study abroad location of interest. Utilizing Texas Tech's Raider Success Hub (RSH), click "Schedule Your Appointment".
