All students at UTEP receive academic advising in the department where they are pursuing their degree. Additionally, all BUILDing SCHOLARS students are required to meet with the BUILDing SCHOLARS Program Manager throughout their participation in the program so as to identify, develop and attain their educational, personal and career goals, while staying on-track with BUILDing SCHOLARS requirements.
Prior to the enrollment window each semester, participants will meet with the Program Manager to review, evaluate and modify (as necessary) their progress toward degree completion. Note: Meeting with the BUILDing SCHOLARS Program Manager does not substitute mandatory meetings with the departmental advisor. A hold will be placed on the student’s account each semester until they meet with the Project Specialist.
Students are encouraged to consult with the BUILDing SCHOLARS Program Manager via telephone, email or office visit at any time with questions or concerns. Our team strives to help students develop their independence, provide guidance and insight along their academic path and instill a deep sense of belonging within the UTEP research community.
For more information about BUILDing SCHOLARS academic advising, please contact Lorena Orozco, Program Manager, via email at lorozco7@utep.edu or by phone at (915) 747-5530.
