Advising
As an undergraduate student majoring in computer science, you must consult with your adviser each semester. You will not be allowed to register until this consultation has taken place, so it is critical that you seek out your adviser well before the time of registration. Your faculty adviser is an important resource to you because he or she will help you develop and achieve your educational goals by assisting you with:
- understanding your major and general education requirements as outlined on your graduation worksheet;
- scheduling courses each semester;
- recommending course sequences within your major and informing you when courses are offered;
- researching internship and undergraduate research opportunities;
- identifying career and professional opportunities within your major;
- referring you to campus resources that may benefit you;
- interpreting academic policies and regulations; and
- verifying your eligibility for graduation.
As you can see, your faculty adviser will play a critical role in making your undergraduate experience go smoothly.
