Advising

Mandatory Advising

All students whose majors are in the College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Construction Management must meet with their faculty academic advisor each spring. This includes Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, and Sustainable Manufacturing majors. While not required, it is best for students to meet with their faculty academic advisor in the fall prior to registration for spring classes.

If one does not meet with their faculty academic advisor in the spring prior to the start of registration for the fall, the computerized registration system will not allow one to register for fall classes.

Procedure for meeting with your major advisor

STEP 1 - Make an appointment with your academic advisor. (If you do not know who your advisor is, check your Portal account or see Martha Layne in the Department office, OCNL 419)

STEP 2 - Plan your remaining semester course schedules to graduation. Complete a plan of courses form. (Using a program curriculum flowchart or University Catalog, select when you will take each remaining course and complete the applicable semester tables on the plan of courses form. On the second page of the form, list your completed and planned GE courses indicating which courses are classified as "US Diversity" or "Global Cultures".)

STEP 3 - Meet with your advisor at the scheduled appointment time. You must bring:
     1. Your completed plan of courses form
     2. A copy of your transcripts from the Portal
     3. A curriculum flowchart with your completed courses marked out or high-lighted
