Notes

Importance of Advising. Advising is an important part of completing a degree. Students are responsible for checking the transfer requirements of 4-year schools they plan to attend; advisors can help with this.

Engineering is an “early advising” program. This means an Engineering student should meet with a faculty advisor in their first quarter. Faculty Advisors are teachers and experts in their subject. Making an appointment with an advisor will help students stay on track with their academic plans.
