Advising

Advising can be the key to making your experience at CU-Boulder run smoothly. Especially for engineers it is important that you carefully plan your schedule each semester if you plan to graduate in four years.

How Do I Contact My Advisor?
Each academic department in the college has designated faculty and/or staff advisors. Click here for a list of departmental advisors. Please Note: Some departments in the college use an electronic advising system. Visit your department web page for more information.

Other Advising Resources
In addition to meeting with your advisor, you should be aware of the fact that the College of Engineering and Applied Science uses a series of advising guides to supply students with timely and accurate information in response to their questions and concerns. These guides are not intended as a substitute for personal interaction between student and advisor, but can be a great way to get answers to many of your questions.

What Humanities Courses Should I Take?
A listing of acceptable humanities and social science electives is available online for your convenience. Visit HOMER, the Humanities and Social Sciences Info Center, for more information.

You may also be interested in the Herbst Humanities Program, which allows students to make the most of their limited time to explore fields outside of engineering by providing them with the opportunity to participate in intellectually stimulating seminar classes. Visit the Herbst Humanities Program for more information and access to the online application.

If you are having schedule conflicts, you may be able to take some of your humanities classes through the Division of Continuing Education. Please note, however, that not all courses are acceptable, so be sure to meet with your academic advisor prior to registration.
