Advising Information for 2012-2013General Advising by Class Freshman - Dr. Anthony Muscat - Office Hours Tu. and Wed. 1:00-2:00pm and Sophomores - Dr. Paul Blowers, Dr. Eduardo Sáez or Dr. Kim Ogden Juniors - Dr. Paul Blowers, Dr. Eduardo Sáez or Dr. Kim Ogden Seniors - Dr. Paul Blowers, Dr. Eduardo Sáez or Dr. Kim Ogden Students should see the following faculty for questions about these specific advising areas. For general advising that does not fit into any of these categories, students may see any of the chemical engineering faculty by appointment.
Temporary Advanced Standing (spring semester of sophomore year) – Dr. Paul Blowers During the spring semester of their sophomore year, students must have their SAPR reviewed; this review is used by the ChEE faculty to decide whether or not the students are qualified to take junior-level chemical engineering courses. Students will be notified during the spring semester (through the ChEE 202 or 203 lectures) of sign-up times for this review. The review must be completed prior to registration for fall semester classes of the junior year. Students who have made satisfactory academic progress (see the requirements for advanced standing), will be granted temporary advanced standing, which will enable them to register for 300- and 400-level ChEE courses for the fall semester.
Advanced Standing (fall semester of junior year) – Dr. Paul Blowers Students that fail to complete the requisite courses for advanced standing by the end of the spring semester of their sophomore year may still complete sophomore level classes during the summer between their sophomore and junior years. Based on a review of the SAPR, such students may also be granted temporary advanced standing to take 300- and 400-level ChEE courses in the fall of their junior year. However, all students must qualify for and obtain permanent advanced standing prior to registering for the spring semester of the junior year; failure to do so will result in the revocation of privileges to take 300- and 400-level ChEE courses. Students should set up an appointment with the appropriate professor if they wish to confirm that they have completed the requirements for permanent advanced standing.
Senior Degree Checks – Dr. Eduardo Sáez Students should go to the Dean’s office in ENGR 200 to obtain a graduation checklist, then schedule and appointment with Dr. Sáez. Students will receive a pink form from the Dean’s office; take this form, along with a recent SAPR, to your appointment with Dr. Sáez. This process should be completed early in the semester that you are graduating. Note: you are also responsible for meeting all other obligations on the checklist in order to graduate.
Academic Contracts/Students on Probation/Disqualification – Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (Dr. Kimberly Ogden or Dr. Paul Blowers) Students with probation or disqualification issues should email a member of the undergraduate curriculum committee (see below) for an appointment regarding these issues. Academic contracts are often developed during these sessions if students are having difficulties in their coursework.
International Student and Transfer Student Advising – Dr. Roberto Guzman Transfer students should set up an appointment with Dr. Guzman for advising prior to registration at the university for the first time.
Awards/Scholarships – Dr. James Field Students with questions or concerns regarding awards and/or scholarships should contact the department chair, Dr. Field, to arrange a meeting.
