Linguistics Advising Contacts
E-mail: gulliver@austin.utexas.edu
Semesterly Drop-ins are paused for the summer. We will resume drop-in advising in Fall 2026. In the meantime, please email us or schedule an appointment below.
To schedule an appointment, see fields below.
Current Linguistics Majors
Please feel free to visit our drop-in hours (details above) or email gulliver@austin.utexas.edu for general inquiries. A good rule of thumb is to utilize the drop-ins or gulliver e-mail for questions that would not involve looking up your academic record. For anything else, let's have a conversation! You can set up a meeting with Rebecca Marcus, Senior Academic Advisor, through the link below:
**Incoming Students: Please do NOT book an advising appointment. Please register for Orientation instead. You will meet with an advisor at Orientation, and your advising hold will be cleared at that time. Questions can be directed to the email above.
**Additional appointments will be released on a rolling basis.
- Other Helpful Resources
If you are a current UT Linguistics major, we are happy to help you. Though we may refer you to another campus resource for more detailed assistance, we're always eager to try to assist you as you navigate the university. That said, a few common concerns are handled primarily by other offices:
- Texas One Stop: financial aid and billing; outgoing transcripts and certifications
- Liberal Arts Career Services and Career Success: career exploration, job search coaching, internship guidance, etc.
- Liberal Arts Student Division: non-academic Q-drops, Withdrawals, Pass/Fail transactions; Graduation Applications and related items
To talk through your Q-drop, Withdrawal, and Pass/Fail options before visiting the Student Division or submitting the academic Q-drop form, please make an appointment with us through the links above or visit our drop-ins.
- Internal Transfer Students
For current UT students interested in changing to (or adding) a Linguistics major, please see our Linguistics Admissions page.
- Other Current Students
Other inquiries from current or former UT students may be directed to our drop-in advising or e-mail listed at the top of this page. Please note that our availability may be limited during high-traffic periods. If your inquiry involves ASL course enrollment or the minor, please contact linguisticsreception@austin.utexas.edu.
- Admitted Linguistics Students
Welcome to the university! We look forward to working with you. Your first advising step is to sign up for Longhorn Orientation. As part of your orientation, you’ll meet one-on-one with an Academic Advisor. Because your registration time is tied to your orientation session, there is no registration advantage to meeting with an advisor prior to orientation. If you have a pressing question, though, please feel free to send it to gulliver@austin.utexas.edu.
- Prospective UT Students
Thank you for your interest in studying Linguistics at The University of Texas at Austin. Prior to your admission, our Office of Admissions will be your primary contact. In addition to the Linguistics website, some of the links below may be particularly helpful to our future Longhorns. Good luck!
