Engineering Advising
Meet Your Advising Team
Students enrolled in an Engineering degree program have three members on their Advising Team: a Pre-Major/Major Advisor, a Senior Academic Advisor, and an Advising Dean. Mechanical Engineers and Computer Science students also have additional advising staff within their departments. Graduate students should consult with their faculty advisor, graduate program director, or the graduate dean's office. Each member of your team plays a different role in your advising process at Tufts.
Pre-Major/Major Advisors can help all students with:
- Course planning
- Registration
- Academic guidance
- Finding campus resources
New Engineering students are assigned a Pre-Major Advisor prior to matriculation. Pre-Major Advisors meet students during Orientation and provide ongoing support until students declare a major. When a major is declared, Engineering students are assigned a Major Advisor who is a full-time faculty member from the declared department. Engineering students must declare a major and secure a Major Advisor by March 1st of their first year.
If you don't know your Advisor, log in to SIS and look under "Academics" on your homepage. You'll find their name and a link to email them directly.
