Course offerings, as they become available, may be found online at  MyNIU.  A departmental schedule of classes and labs may be viewed, also as available, from this website under Course Offerings.

All Electrical Engineering (ELE) students must complete and submit an advising form each semester.  Undergraduates may check Who is My Advisor? to search for your advisor's name according to your Z-ID.

Which courses transfer from Illinois community colleges?  Course comparisons may be found in the Articulation Handbook.

Prior to each semester, all ELE undergraduate students should: 

1. Print a copy of your Degree Progress Report (DPR) in MyNIU.  Thoroughly review your report.  Obtain an advising form.  (Forms are available on the ELE bulletin board and in the ELE office, EB 330.)
2. Meet with your advisor.  Stop in during the advisor's open office hours or contact your advisor directly for an appointment.  (Please do not call the ELE office for the appointment.)  Watch for advising sign-up sheets to be posted on your advisor's office door during the primary enrollment periods.
3. Next, complete the advising form together based on your DPR.  Ask questions!  All information requested on the form must be provided.  When finished, both you and the advisor need to sign the form at the bottom.
4. RETURN the approved and signed form to the ELE office (EB 330) to have the advising hold cleared.  All engineering undergraduate students will have this hold on their registration until they have met with their advisor and returned the signed form.
5. Register for classes in MyNIU during the appropriate enrollment period -- official registration for fall semester begins in April and for spring semester in November.
   
   Be sure to allow yourself ample time to complete the advising process, and register early to help ensure the availability of your desired classes.  Please return your completed advising form to the ELE office at least 24 hours BEFORE your actual registration period begins.   

Graduate Students:

Obtain an advising form from the ELE office and meet with your assigned advisor prior to course registration.

Obtaining permission does NOT guarantee you a seat in the class.  You still MUST register during the appropriate enrollment period.  To register, log onto MyNIU.

Undecided majors or students thinking of changing majors should visit the Academic Advising Center.

Degree Progress Report 

The Degree Progress Report (formerly DARS) is a statement of your progress toward completing the university academic requirements for graduation. 

You should check your progress report in MyNIU at least once per semester -- especially after grades are posted and prior to speaking with your advisor about new classes or academic progress.
