Advising
Any MABE student who is on Academic Probation must meet with the Associate Department Head each semester to be cleared for preregistration for the following semester.
Any engineering student who has earned fewer than 30 hours at UTK must be advised every semester. Engineering Advising Services in 202 Estabrook will advise the student until he/she is released to the MABE department. Thereafter, the student must meet each semester with an advisor in the MABE department until 30 hours have been earned at UTK.
After a student has earned 30 hours at UTK and is no longer on Academic Probation, he/she is required to meet with an advisor once an academic year. (Every MABE student is strongly encouraged to visit an academic advisor at least once a semester to discuss the student's progress and to resolve any questions the student may have regarding the student's program.) A student's required advising term is determined by the last digit of the student ID number.
| Even number: | Advised in Fall for Spring | ||
| (A last digit of zero is considered an even number.) | |||
| Odd number: | Advised in Spring for Fall |
The process for a required advising session is described in the advising flow chart. Note that most of the process is to be completed BEFORE meeting with an advisor. Without a completed Advising Record Form, an updated Plan of Study and a current DARS report, you will not be able to completed a required advising session.
