Each undergraduate and post-baccalaureate electrical engineering major is also assigned a permanent faculty advisor. The advisor will assist the student in planning his/her degree program, and answer questions concerning academic policies. The advisor cannot waive prerequisites or policies. The student is ultimately responsible for compliance. It is the duty of the faculty advisor to provide timely and accurate advice to his assigned advisees. The advisor should make every effort to be available by appointment throughout the academic year, with particular emphasis on the period when registration begins. If a faculty member will not be available for advising, he should notify the Director of Undergraduate Studies so that appropriate reassignments can be made. Advisors are assigned to new students before priority registration each fall and spring semester. Until a regular advisor is assigned, the Director of Undergraduate Studies acts as the advisor. Once assigned, students keep the same faculty advisor for the duration of their studies as an ECE major provided they enroll at least once every two years . Students who are not enrolled for two years are deleted from the advising base and will be assigned a new advisor should they re-enroll. Under special circumstances, a request for an advising change may be made to the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Normally students may not request a particular advisor, as advising assignments are made so as to balance the load among available faculty.
