COEIT Staff Advisors will start advising appointments in early October for Spring registration and early March for Fall registration.
- Before registering for courses for the upcoming semester, students must meet with an advisor to obtain registration authorization.
- Pre-Chemical Engineering, Pre-Computer Engineering, Pre-Computer Science, Pre-Mechanical Engineering, and Pre Engineering students are advised by COEIT staff advisors until they have completed the gateway requirements for their major.
- First-semester transfer students, regardless of gateway status, are also advised by COEIT Staff Advisors.
All Pre-majors and first-semester transfer students will need to schedule an appointment for advising clearance. Registration advising appointments will be available in person and online through Google Meets.

Pre-majors and first-semester transfer students are not assigned a specific advisor and may meet with any available advisor.
