- The pre-advising worksheet is used by your academic adviser to help you schedule classes.

Academic Advising Questions
Can a student talk to an Academic Adviser without going through orientation?
No. New students cannot meet with an academic adviser until they attend new student orientation. The Academic Advisement Center does not have access to the students' files prior to orientation.
Academic accommodations are available to students who qualify for services. Please contact the Office of Accessibility to inquire about the registration process for programs and services available to students with disabilities. Call 330-972-7928 or TTY/TDD 330-972-5764; e-mail: access@uakron.edu or visit the Office of Accessibility.
Can a parent be with their student during the academic advising appointment?
No. The University of Akron considers all new students to be adults and responsible for their own academic pursuits. The academic adviser will meet with groups of students during the orientation day to discuss the student's academic goals. A parent can review their student's schedule and adjustments can be made through the end of the first week of the semester, if necessary. Exception: Parents of high school students participating in the Post Secondary Enrollment Option Program have the option of attending the academic advising appointment.
