Appointments

How often should I meet with my adviser?
We suggest that you meet with your adviser regularly, at least once a semester, to receive assistance with major selection, schedule planning, test-taking, study skills, utilizing resources, career planning and much more!  Anytime you may have an academic question you should contact your adviser, while some questions can be handled by email, many issues benefit from a two-way conversation. 

How should I prepare for my advising appointment?
Before visiting your adviser, you should:

• Reflect on how you are doing in your classes.
• Review the major/degree requirements for the majors that interest you.
• Think about any questions you might have about your major, the College of Engineering, or the University.
• During annual enrollment (in the spring) think about classes you might be interest in taking during the summer and next year.  Fore more information on planning your schedule, click on the worksheet link below.

Your adviser is assigned to you based on your major, your class standing (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior) and by students first letter of last name. If you're involved in certain programs, such as Spartan Engineering / The Residential Experience or the Honors College, you will have a specific adviser for that program in addition to your College of Engineering adviser.
