Engineering Advising Syllabus
Welcome to the College of Engineering. We are glad you are here!
This section provides information on advising and registration procedures for all
current (sophomore or higher undergraduate) and transfer Engineering students. The
College of Engineering REQUIRES advising every semester prior to enrolling in courses. First-year (i.e., all new
students coming straight from high school) receive advising and registration help
via the OneStop Student Services office.
Current Students
Required Advising and Enrollment Information
Procedures
- Last names beginning with A-L schedule the meeting with their faculty advisor in the fall, and last names beginning
with M-Z schedule the meeting with their faculty advisor in the spring. (You can meet with
either during off-semesters if you want; they are there to help.)
Note: Find your faculty advisor's name and email address by going to your degree audit and clicking the e-mail icon at the top right. Also, your assigned advisors will be located in your Success Team in Navigate. - Schedule an advising meeting with your faculty advisor (depending on the semester)
or the Engineering Student Academic Success Advisor. You will not be allowed to enroll
until this appointment has been completed.
Note: Depending on your department, this can be scheduled through Navigate or by email. - Prior to your appointment, outline a tentative class schedule. This can be done by
using the pre-advising worksheet provided by your department or by reviewing your
department’s Degree Map. For accuracy, please verify your catalog term first.
Tip: Don't know where to find your catalog term? Check your Degree Works audit or your Academic Profile under the myClasses tab in your myWSU portal. - Arrive early. Students who are more than five minutes late will need to reschedule.

Cancellation and No-Show Policies
Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please contact your advisor as far in advance as possible so we can make the best effort to offer that appointment time to another student.
No-Show Policy
Failure to show up for your appointment may delay your enrollment in classes. This could impact your access to preferred courses, your academic progress, and potentially your financial aid. We encourage you to reschedule as soon as possible to stay on track.
Communication Framework
Email Response Time
Email response time from the College of Engineering Advising team is typically within 48 business hours. Response times may be longer on weekends and university holidays—please plan accordingly.
Voicemail Response Time
