During the first two semesters at The University of Iowa, most undergraduates are advised by professional advisors at the Academic Advising Center (AAC). All students advised at the AAC meet with an advisor twice before registering for classes, once for planning and once to receive permission to register. Advisors also work with students on many other related issues and refer students to other offices for additional resources. For more information, call the Academic Advising Center, C210 Pomerantz Center, Iowa City, Iowa, 52242; (319) 353-5700 or visit www.uiowa.edu/web/advisingcenter.
After earning 24 semester hours, most students are advised in the department offering the student's major. Students applying to selective admissions majors or programs are advised at AAC until the student is accepted into the program or has declared another major. Advising by faculty is always available by the junior year or earlier. Each department also identifies a specific honors advisor.
Regardless of where students are advised, they may request a different advisor for any reason.

When you are transfered to us from AAC our Undergraduate Program Director will be your advisor for about a year. After that s/he will reassign you to a Mathematics faculty member.
