SUBJECT: Academic Advising Center Discourse Memo
Dear RWS 1301 Students,
At UTEP, not everybody knows what classes to take or what they want to aspire in life. At the
Academic Advising Center they can help you with almost anything having to do with classes or
your major.
The main focus of the Academic Advising Center is to inform current students, incoming
freshman, international students, and transfer students. One of the things they do is help students
under general studies decide what major they want to choose. They have many programs
including the Abitur program, Pre-nursing, P.I.E., START, TSI, UTEP-UT Austin coordinated
admission program, FHAR, and the probation and suspension students. They engage with these
programs to help get students where they need to be.
On most days, they have to advise students, administer tests, look up student records, give coins
to students for lockers, and help each other. When you arrive, they offer brochures of their office
hours and provide papers with important dates. The students going to the Academic Advising
Center must be a current UTEP student or are going to become one. All you need to do is call to
schedule an appointment or walk in. You will then meet with an advisor and they will assist you.
The advisors provide advice, help you with any doubts, answer your questions, change your
major, and, overall, just be there for you to guide you down a good path that suits you.

Sincerely,
Melanie Romero
