If you're interested in engineering or engineering technology, we'll help you get started on your academic journey and connect you across the campus community. We can help you understand course and degree requirements, explore majors and minors, and link you with academic and career resources.
We also offer tutoring services in EB 141 to engineering and engineering technology students to help ease your transition to campus. View our current hours of operation.
You'll meet with one of our professional advisors once you have completed 24 credit hours. You are required to schedule an appointment with your advisor each semester before registering for classes. Once you have met your math milestone and completed 80 credit hours, you will be assigned to a faculty advisor in your major department.
For more information, contact us at 815-753-8024 or ceetadvising@niu.edu.
Each semester, we'll send information to your NIU email account about scheduling your mandatory advising appointment. You can also contact us anytime to set up a meeting, as we offer in-person and virtual appointments. An advising hold is placed on your account every semester, so you must meet with your advisor before you can register for classes.
Second and third-year students are assigned to advisors by the first letter of their last name unless they are undecided in engineering:
