Bioengineering Undergraduate Advising Procedure
1. In Bioengineering all students must see their Faculty Advisers to obtain their advising code to register for classes. It is important that you see your faculty adviser during the specified dates of faculty advising meetings. The faculty are available and have scheduled meetings to meet with you to discuss your courses and to give your advising code. It is not advisable to wait after the Faculty Advising period to obtain your advising code. The faculty have made adjustments in their schedules to accommodate faculty advising and are more readily available. If you do not see them during this time their busy schedules may make it more difficult to get an appointment which can result in missing your Phase 1 appointment.
