FAQs for Undeclared Advisement Scheduling
Why can’t I login to the appointment system?
- You may not be undeclared in WINGS. Login to your WINGS account, then Student Records to verify your current major. Students wishing to change major to undeclared status must do so with the advisement center of their current, declared major before an account will be created in our appointment system. For contact information of advisement centers, see http://academics.georgiasouthern.edu/advisement/centers.html
- You may not be currently enrolled. If you are not currently enrolled, please contact us by telephone at (912) 478-3939 for assistance in scheduling your appointment.
- You don’t know or mistyped your Eagle ID number. Students must enter their EID for both the login and password in order to see the appointment calendar. To look up your EID, see https://adminservices.georgiasouthern.edu/eagleid/.
If you continue to have trouble, please contact FYE at 912-GSU-FYEX (478-3939).
How can I change my appointment time?
Simply log in to the system using your Eagle ID for your login and password.
You can see all existing appointments on the bottom of the right side of the
screen. Click on the cancel appointment link. You may then access the calendar
to select another day and time for your appointment.
How long will my advising appointment be?
Students are presented with advising options based on several criteria,
including start term, number of credit hours and other factors. Depending on
your status, you will have one of three appointment types.
- Major exploration pre-advisement – 15 minute appointment (mandatory for sophomores)
- Academic advisement – 30 minute appointment (returning students and non-EIP freshmen)
- Eagle Incentive Program advisement – 45 minute appointment
The system is automatically set to provide you the correct advisement schedule options.
If I’ve declared my major this semester, can I still use
this site to schedule my appointment?
No, you must contact your new advisement center or academic advisor to schedule
your appointment. Many of the other college centers are using this software,
however the systems are not linked, and you will need to get login information
from your new advisement center in order to access their appointments during
Fall semester.
What do I need to bring with me to my advisement
appointment?
Bring your advising records, any ideas you have for courses you may wish to
take in Spring or Summer and a list of questions you have for your advisor. If
you came to SOAR in 2009, bring your SOAR binder with you; it has a place to
keep advisement records. If you are taking FYE 1220 this semester, bring with
you your completed “Academic Planning Assignment” found in the "Your Academic
Future" module in GeorgiaView (or by clicking
here).
