In their role of Academic Advisor, Faculty
- evaluate the appropriateness of your eCore course selections as those choices relate to fulfilling requirements for your course of study; and then,
- approve, or alternatively, suggest a more appropriate course choice for approval from the eCore selections;
- then send that approval to the eCore Office for registration.
eCore Advisors are:
- the student's own departmental academic advisor; or,
- Dawn Ramsey, Dean of Extended University, who serves as eCore advisor for transient students and eCore-only students.
ECET majors do not require an Advisor's approval. All other majors require Adacemic Advisor approval for eCore registration.

More information
Students interested in eCore may visit the state’s eCore web site http://www.alt.usg.edu/ecore/. The eCore website can answer most of your questions and can help you decide if online learning is right for you.
Students who have never taken an online course often think online courses are easier than traditional courses. This is NOT true. Most online students report that they spend more time on their online courses than on their face-to-face courses.
Call 678-915-4984 if you have additional questions about eCore.
