Major Requirements and Rules

Advising Transition

Academic advising for freshmen, sophomores, and transfer students in the Sport Management major occurs in the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences (CEHHS) Office of Advising and Student Services (BEC 332). If you have not been advised by anyone in CEHHS Advising before, please visit their website for more information about scheduling an appointment with their office. The KRSS Advising Staff is not able to review a student’s academic history if they are not currently a Sport Management major.

A student will transition from CEHHS Advising to KRSS Department Advising after he/she completes the following:

• Maintains a minimum UT GPA of 2.5 after a minimum of 30 hours of coursework
• Completion of RSM 250  with a grade of C or better
• Successful completion of ENGL 101 * and ENGL 102 *, and one Quantitative Reasoning Elective *  

At the end of each semester, staff of the CEHHS Office of Advising and Student Services will compile a list of students ready to change to departmental advising. Students will be emailed an advising transition letter with the name and contact information of their new department advisor. Students will then be responsible for scheduling a meeting with their new advisor to complete this transition. Scheduling with KRSS Advisors should be done via email by contacting your new advisor directly.
