The advising and support resources show below are designed to ease your transition into the Software Engineering program, help you and your family feel comfortable within our campus environment, and aid you in developing the confidence you need to reach your educational goals.

Academic Advising

Your Software Engineering advisor is a dedicated resource to help you with all aspects of your curricular planning, including:

  • Understanding degree requirements
  • Course selection, registration, and schedule changes
  • Transferring coursework and credits
  • Interpretation of Program, College, and University policies
  • Navigation of University resources and systems

You will be empowered to take an active role in the advising process by making decisions best suited for your circumstances. This relies on open and active communication; ensure you are checking your Iowa State email frequently and alerting your advisor to any questions or concerns.
