Advising in the School of Engineering is mandatory for every student, every semester.

Academic advising in the School of Engineering is done jointly by trained professional staff and faculty advisors. Faculty advisors and professional staff advisors are assigned to new and continuing School of Engineering students according to the student’s major.

Typically, first- and second-year students are assigned to a professional staff advisor who assists students in their transition to college, aids students in navigating the University, and collaborates with them in course selection and academic planning.

Faculty advisors typically meet with engineering students with junior or senior standing. They assist students in their course selection, counsel them in meeting their educational and career goals, and provide discipline-specific mentorship.

To determine who your advisor is – please check your Student Center on your Student Admin account.
