Individual Appointments

Do you prefer a one-on-one advising appointment? We've got you covered with an individual one-hour appointment with one of our professional academic and career advisors. You will receive your fall 2025 class schedule at your appointment.

After your appointment, one of our Green and Gold Ambassadors will take you around campus to take care of any necessary to-do list items, such as getting your student ID, setting up your Post Office Box, and visiting with other offices on campus.

Individual appointments are in-person ** and begin in May. You will select your time and day through OneTech. Available times and days for individual appointments vary.

You must be admitted to Arkansas Tech University before you can sign up for an individual appointment. If you have questions about your admissions status, check your OneTech account or contact Admissions at (479) 968-0343.
