What Is the Faculty Advising Process for Freshmen?
Many academic programs assign freshmen to advisors, faculty who will remain in that capacity as the student proceeds through the program. This fixed reference point is a benefit to many students who have questions throughout the year. We have chosen to assign freshmen to a group of faculty advisors, providing a fixed group of advisors for the same group of students over the entire time that they are in the degree program. Each advising cohort has a faculty member from each research area (structures, transportation, and water/environmental). Your faculty advisors will continue to advise you as long as you are in our UG programs.
