The Undergraduate Advising Office offers group advising sessions for all first-year, second-year, and transfer students in the College of Engineering. These sessions fulfill the College's mandatory advising requirement.
All students must attend an in-person group advising session in its entirety before requesting a one-on-one appointment with their advisor.
Overview
Session Length: 1 hour | Modality: In-Person
Members of the Engineering advising team present relevant material to your group which covers Student Admin functionalities, course selection, campus resources, and more. After the initial presentation, advisors will circulate and meet one-on-one with students to share their individualized course recommendations, discuss courses for the following semester, and answer questions.
