Advising

All students who have declared MATH as either a major or a second major are assigned an advisor in the Math Department. In the Mathematical Sciences Department, advising is done by full-time faculty. This allows students to interact with an academically experienced advisor who has broad subject-specific knowledge. Our advisors work individually with students on the following:

• Help the student plan and carry out an appropriate course of study.
• Assist the student with scheduling issues.
• Help the student understand the University of Memphis academic policies and regulations.
• Connect students to scholarships that are offered through the Department.

How do I get a math advisor?

• Declare MATH as a major or second major, as follows:
  • If you wish to declare a MATH major (not second major), send an email to casgraduation@memphis.edu with your name, and U-number, stating that you wish to declare a MATH major.
  • If you wish to declare a second major, and are not currently an Engineering major, proceed as in the previous item.
  • If you wish to declare a second major, and are currently an Engineering major, contact Betsy Loe and let her know this.
• When this is completed, send an email to Ilham Tayahi stating that you have declared MATH as a major or second major, and he will assign an advisor to you.
