Undergraduate students will meet with their Academic Advisor each semester to prepare for the next semester’s courses and create an academic plan.  Be prepared for your appointment so that all of your questions can be answered and your meeting will go efficiently.

Our advisor is also a great resource for students who are considering study abroad programs or want to apply for scholarships. Your advisor will be able to help you integrate these options into your academic career so that they become a valuable part of your university experience.

We want our students to succeed and your advisor can help you with your college career planning. However, it is ultimately your responsibility to make appropriate academic choices and take advantage of all the opportunities and resources LSON have to offer.

How do I make an appointment with my advisor?

Call the front desk at (901) 678-2003 to make an appointment.

Can I be advised if I have any health requirements to be updated?

No. We ask that you schedule your advising appointment once all health requirements have been met for the semester you plan to enroll.  You can register once you have completed your advising appointment assuming all health requirements are met.  Students must be clear through April for a spring term and November for a fall term.  Contact the Academic Services Coordinator for more information regarding your required health documents.

I tried to register and it says I need an alternate PIN from my advisor. What does this mean?

This is an advising hold. It means you have not met with your advisor to discuss your class schedule for the upcoming semester. Contact your advisor to set up an appointment. The hold will be cleared after your advising appointment.

If you have already met with your advisor and the alternate PIN message still appears, contact your advisor as soon as possible so the hold can be removed.

• Consult with your Academic Advisor if problems arise
• Call early to schedule appointments and make sure that your health requirements are current
