Advising is one of the most important services provided by our department. Departmental advisors offer guidance about both majors, Civil and Environmental Engineering. This includes academic planning, degree requirements, course descriptions, course prerequisites, and elective selections. Advisors also help with administrative procedures such as registration, change of major, course equivalences and graduation.

• ADVISING HOLDS are placed on students files before the registration period starts. This ensures communication between students and the advisor during class registration. The advising hold will be released once you have seen your advisor or have sent your Electronic Registration online and your advisor has approved it. Students must follow the departmental Registration Procedure described below.

Current students at FIU cannot take a course at another institution without consulting the departmental advisor, as it is explained in the Transient Student Procedure above

TRANSFER STUDENTS

• Transfer students must attend the transfer orientation at the time they become FIU students. Transfer students must meet with the departmental advisor for academic planning and course equivalencies.
• Students transferring from a Florida Public Community College with an AA degree, will automatically satisfy the lower-division University Core Curriculum requirements and thus will not need to have their courses evaluated.
• Students transferring from other post-secondary institutions will follow the Course Equivalency procedure explained below in order to count specific credits toward student's degree requirements.
