Current Students: Advising
Dear Music Majors,
Welcome to advising for Spring 2023 Class Registration!
Please read the entire page for all important information!
Advising will be either in-person or virtual, depending on what you and your faculty advisor choose.
The advising period will begin on Monday, October 3, 2022, but each advisor keeps their own schedule. You’ll find your advisor in the list below.
October 3: The Spring 2023 Schedule of Classes goes live; advising for fall begins.
October 28: Spring registration begins for continuing students; check your portal for your registration window!
To get started:
1. Check the list below to find your assigned advisor. Your advisor is assigned solely on the degree/concentration in which you intend to graduate. Therefore, your advisor might not be the same person as your Area Coordinator.
2. Make note of your advisor’s name and visit TitanNet (link located below the Advisor section). This will take you to a new webpage.
3. In TitanNet, select Advising, then School of Music Advising, then follow the prompts. If your advisor does not appear in or does not use TitanNet, you may email or call your advisor to set up an advising appointment.
4. Before your advising appointment, plan your Spring 2023 courses as well as your courses for future semesters. Your advisor will want from you:
1) What you are planning to take in Spring 2023;
2) What you have already taken for your degree — your Unofficial Student Academic Record; and
3) What courses you will take in the future.
Resources to Make These Plans:
