Advising

All engineering students are to register by meeting their Advisor in the College of Engineering Undergraduate Advising Office. They should meet their Faculty Mentors in the Department prior to seeing their Advisor in the College of Engineering Undergraduate Advising Office.

New incoming First year students must meet with the Transitional Advisor, before meeting with the Engineering Academic Advisor. Transitional Advisor will ensure new first year students have math placement scores on record.

• New Undergraduate Students go to this link for Transitional advisor contact information, advising Information, entrance placement exams requirement, English requirements, and additional information.

All incoming Transfer students are also advised in the College of Engineering Undergraduate Advising Office. This office makes sure that all the transfer credits have been evaluated by the appropriate department to determine the equivalent class at the University of Miami. If courses have not been

evaluated, students will be directed to complete the MATES online transfer equivalency process. Each transfer student will also be assigned a Faculty Mentor to guide them.

1. The Engineering Advising office will register all incoming first-year students in cohort (IMPaCT program). We will do it after you have met with the Transitional Advisor and have all your math placement and/or ALEKS math scores. So please do this as soon as possible.
