Advising

The Academic Advising team in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is committed to building strong relationships with our students. We're here to guide and support you through your program by ensuring you understand the curriculum, requirements, policies and procedures within the Department. 

In addition to the Academic Advisors, you will also have access to a faculty mentor. Your faculty mentor can provide insights into the technical aspects of your degree as well as answer any questions regarding research or courses to take that will benefit your educational and career goals. 

Undergraduate Advising:

Wendy McKenney and Ruby Pfeiffer advise undergraduate students in Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, and the Nuclear Engineering minor. 

Students visit undergraduate advisors for a variety of reasons including:

  • Mandatory First Year and Second Year Advising
  • Guidance with course selection and sequencing 
  • Guidance on major status requirements
  • Information about Study Abroad
  • Transfer advising, permission codes, and course petitions
  • Graduation planning and graduation clearance
  • Information on scholarships and other support services
