Applications & Procedures
Each student must be informed about all pertinent rules and regulations and must abide by them at all times. Academic advisors and other faculty members are available to assist students, but the ultimate responsibility for being informed rests with the student. Please review the applications, policies and procedures that apply to engineering students. →
Academic Advising
There are several offices within the School that work together to provide the engineering student with academic advising services. It is to the engineering student's advantage, as well as his or her responsibility, to be aware of and access the academic advising services offered by the various offices. Students are able to seek advice from faculty, departmental advisors, and Office of Student Affairs advisors. →
