Academic Advisement
All SOE Students must complete curriculum advisement (in person) EACH semester with an academic advisor. In the Academic Advisement sessions, students will:
- Receive help with course selection and schedule balancing
- Get a thorough explanation of curriculum sheets, selecting electives, choosing a major, obtaining tutoring, etc.
- Get answers to general questions on academic policies
Receive information on engineering departments, student groups, and professional organizations
All SOE Students have an “Advisement Hold” placed on their registration during the 12th week of each semester. This hold must be lifted by their advisor before classes are added or dropped.
The Role of the Academic Advisor is to:
- Monitor the student's courses and grades
- Recommend alternative courses
- Assist the student in developing a plan with that leads to admission into a department in the SOE
The Responsibility of the Student is to:
- Read the UNM Catalog and the UNM Schedule of Classes to become familiar with academic policies and procedures
- Review the curriculum for their specific major
- Attend all classes consistently
- Seek assistance from faculty
- Attend tutoring/study groups weekly
- Meet with their academic advisor as soon as they encounter difficulty in a class
