Do I need to see an advisor?
New Undergraduate Students
New freshman and transfer students must complete their orientation modules before they can be registered for classes with an academic advisor.
To complete your orientation modules:
- Have your UT Dallas NetID and password ready. To setup your NetID and password, visit: https://oit.utdallas.edu/netid/self-service/
- Log into the UT Dallas eLearning site with your NetID and password. Go to My Organizations and select your orientation. View the orientation slideshow and complete the ending assessment with a score of 100%.
Prepare to contact your academic advisor.
After completing orientation modules, it will take at least two business days for you to be eligible to register.
- To see if your account has been updated to reflect that you have completed your modules, log into the Galaxy Portal with your NetID and password.
- Go to your Student Center and select your Tasks tile to see if you have any to-do list items to complete before registration.
