Academic Advising | NC State ISE

Academic Advising
Our advising team offers you, our students, two types of advising throughout the semester. This includes general and pre-registration advising.
You can meet with your academic advisor at any time during the school year. If you have questions about your curriculum, courses, study abroad or co-op programs, please schedule an appointment. Moreover, by talking with your advisor, you can plan ahead and make better academic decisions.
You have the option of meeting with a main advisor during the registration period. These appointments will focus on course selection for the upcoming semester and ensure you’re on track with graduation requirements. This meeting will also count towards the removal of your advising hold.
