Advising

Undergraduate Advising

Grainger Engineering is committed to providing quality advising at all levels. We offer college and departmental level advising to help you answer any questions that might come up and to help you overcome any challenges you face.

We regularly help students with course difficulty, registration and course planning, study skills, test anxiety, questioning your major, feeling comfortable and happy on campus. We also would love to talk to you about different resources on campus, your plan to graduate, and what you want in your future.

The The Grainger Academic Advising Center is on the 4th Floor of Grainger Library, East Wing, and advising hours are available Monday through Friday. See link below.

Departmental Advising

Each department has an office for undergraduate student advising, and a departmental Chief Advisor. Departmental advisors can help you answer questions about departmental degree requirements, getting into that specific departmental courses, resolving academic difficulties, and transferring into or out of the department.
