The academic advising experience at the School of Public Policy is hands-on and personal. It is a relationship in which both the advisor and student contribute. The goal is to provide a supportive and challenging environment in which students can explore academic and career options, discuss concerns, and creatively construct an undergraduate experience that helps achieve personal, academic, and career goals.
There are expectations of advisors and students during academic advising. Students can expect respect and individual attention. In turn, students are expected to keep appointments, follow up on resources suggested, and arrive to advising meetings prepared. It is also expected that students should arrange at least one advising appointment per semester to confirm that all academic requirements are being met. Together, students can work with their advisor to maximize their experience here at Georgia Tech and the School of Public Policy.
