The Civil Engineering Program at Johns Hopkins
Goals      Advising      Home

The advisor is an important source of guidance in the student's selection of electives, a set of options that may materially shape the student's interests.  The advisor also helps the student to interpret requirements in the face of the inevitable changes in course availability.  Civil Engineering advising activities are managed by an Advising Coordinator who assigns students to advisors, responds to students' requests for changes in advisors, and may, when necessary, act on behalf of the advisor.

Prior to their arrival on campus, students will be assigned a freshman advisor by the Coordinator, whom they normally retain for the remainder of their undergraduate period.  Course registration forms and add/drop forms must always be signed by the student's advisor.  Students must maintain their copy of the Advising Sign-off Form during their undergraduate program.  Prior to graduation, this form is to be signed by the advisor and given to the Advising Coordinator as evidence that the curriculum has been satisfactorily completed.
