Advising Services

Get the support you need to succeed

As a student in the School of Physical Education and Tourism Management, you'll work with an academic advisor and a faculty mentor throughout your time at IUPUI. Both will help you make the most of your PETM experience. Your academic advisor will guide you through your academic experience, while your faculty mentor will help you explore your chosen field and plan your career path.

If you're a current PETM student, you can view your assigned academic advisor and faculty mentor in the Student Center in one.iu.edu. You should meet with them at least once a semester to make sure you're on track to complete your degree.
