Advising
Student advising is an important part of the collegiate education process. Academic advisors provide an integral part in shaping the student's education to meet the student's academic and career goals. Advisors play a critical role in student success and ensure the student is making satisfactory academic progress. Please review K-State's academic advising syllabus.
In order to provide a high-quality advising experience, the Mike Wiegers Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has full-time academic advisors on staff who are available as a resource to students throughout their time at K-State.
Faculty are also involved in the advising process. Once students start enrolling in upper-level courses they are paired with a faculty advisor in their selected emphasis area.
If you're unsure of your assigned advisor, log in to Navigate. On your Student Home Page - Far Right Hand Corner Look for 'Your Success Team' - It will be located under Quick Links, Current Visits, and Upcoming Appointments. If you're not assigned to an advisor, email Crystal.
