Office of Student Affairs
The engineering Office of Student Affairs, 126 Marston Hall, is staffed by advisers who assist engineering students, answer questions, address concerns, and provide information needed for students' successful academic careers. This includes advice on course selection, academic and personal counseling, scholarships, tutoring needs, and other college programs and services. The Office of Student Affairs also assists students with other academic matters, repeat options, repeat course substitutions, late course adds, late course drops, and academic discipline.
The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion provides academic and personal support to increase the enrollment, retention and graduation among under-represented minorities and women, students with disabilities, veterans and community college transfers. The program organizes seminars, workshops, networking with industry, tutoring, and provides other opportunities.
Each department in the college has a Undergraduate Program Director and/or a Chief Undergraduate Advisor who facilitates advising of students concerning their major and degree requirements. Students are encouraged to meet regularly with an academic adviser.
