Undergraduate Advising

Chemical Engineering Advisor Policy and Assignments

1. The Undergraduate Coordinator will be your advisor when you apply for entrance into the Chemical Engineering Department, and for your first registration in the Chemical Engineering Department. The Undergraduate Coordinator will also be your advisor for all transfer of credits from other institutions, regardless of when they are taken.

2. Unless you are notified otherwise, on the first day that you begin to take classes in our department, you will change advisors based on the first letter of your last name. This faculty member will be your advisor until you graduate unless there is a change in our faculty. This applies to all students, including 3/2 and co-op students. Your advisor will not handle transfer of credits from other schools. Please see the Undergraduate Coordinator for this.

3. If neither you, nor your advisor can answer your question, please see the Undergraduate Coordinator.

4. You are responsible for taking all of the required courses for graduation. The required courses are clearly specified. Your advisor is responsible for assisting you, answering your questions, meeting with you for registration and add/drops, and advising you. The Undergraduate Coordinator verifies that each applicant for graduation has taken all of the required courses and has met all of the guidelines for graduation.
