Who is My Advisor?
Who your advisor is depends on many factors including the number of credit hours you've earned, your academic interests, and your chosen degree program. The web environment available through OneStart gives students access to their records in the IU system. First you must log in to OneStart, then scroll to the right of the "Student Services" tab and click on "My Advisors."
New and Continuing Students
If this is your first semester in college, you will be assigned an advisor in the Academic Advising Center, based on your academic interests. If you qualify to participate in the Student Support Services program, you will be assigned an advisor in that office.
Academic Advising Center advisors are available to work with students through their first full semester of study. If you have decided on a degree, we will help you select the foundation courses for that program.
If you are still exploring your options, you are considered an exploratory student until you choose a program. During your first full semester of study, your advisor will help you select a degree program and you will be assigned to a faculty advisor in that program.
Transfer Students
If you are transferring to IU East from another college, you will initially meet with an advisor in the Academic Advising Center. If you have completed more than 12 hours and have selected your academic program, you will be assigned to a faculty advisor in that area.
Making an Appointment with your Assigned Advisor
To make an appointment with your assigned advisor in the Academic Advising Center, please see or call the Academic Advising Center secretary, Whitewater Hall, Room 112, 765-973-8235. (If you have been transferred to your major for advising, please contact the name of the faculty listed on your OneStart records.)
