Intended MIS Students
Students will first declare themselves as Intended-MIS majors through their Athena account, and will be advised by an advisor in the Exploratory Center (specializing in “intended” majors) until accepted into Terry College. Contact the Exploratory Center to be assigned to an advisor by visiting them in 114 Memorial Hall or complete an online referral form.
You must apply to Terry College in order to continue in the major. Entrance requirements and admission information can be found on the Terry College Admissions webpage.
If you are a transfer student—or intend to transfer—and have questions about how your transfer credits will impact your progress in applying to Terry, please direct your questions to Cindy Schulman (cschulman@uga.edu) in the Exploratory Center or check the Transfer Equivalency Database.

- Drop-in hours are great opportunities to talk about changing majors, adding minors or certificates, class concerns, signing forms, etc.
- Semester advising is not available during drop-in hours. Students who have been accepted into Terry College should be able to access the advising appointment calendar using SAGE.
Semester Advising Appointments
- Please notify the advisor 24 hours in advance by email if you are not able to make it to your advising appointment as scheduled.
- NO SHOW PROCEDURE: If you are not able to make your semester advising appointment, you should notify your advisor in advance of your meeting. Students who “no show” or cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice for semester advising appointments greatly hinder the advisor’s ability to advise everyone in a timely manner. Please review the Terry College’s advisement policy which includes information about no-shows and cancellations. Students who “no show” will be allowed to reschedule later in the semester which may affect the student’s ability to register on time.
- IMPORTANT: Students graduating in the current term should NOT schedule an appointment but should email their advisor for a separate appointment time if current drop-in hours are not convenient. Students studying abroad should not schedule advising appointments but should email their advisor with their current course schedule information to be advised by email.
- Advising is mandatory each semester prior to registering for classes.
