Expectation
- My advisor/professor/academic coach will email me back instantly
- If they don't email me back right away they must be ignoring me
- They have ALL the answers
- They work 24/7/365
Reality
- Advisors and coaches work typical business hours 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday - Friday
- We don't know everything and have to reach out to other departments to find answers
- We have other responsibilities besides answering emails. During peak advising periods we have between 6-10 appointments daily
What Not to Do
- Leave off important info such as name, major, student ID, etc
- Write the email like a text message
- Send it from your non-UTK email
- Send multiple emails in a row
What to do
- Be patient
- Include all helpful information
- Do your own research before emailing
- Proof read your email before sending it
Announcements
