Q. What is a Faculty Advisor?

 

A. All ASEN undergraduates are assigned to an ASEN Faculty Member.  Students may send requests for their top 5 Faculty Mentors based on the student's interest in that faculty member's research.  For a list of ASEN faculty, please visit this link.  Faculty Advisors help students with long-term career goals, applying to graduate school, networking, writing letters of recommendation, selecting Professional Area Electives, etc.  They also act as a professional mentor.

 

 

 

Q. How often do students have to meet with their Faculty Advisor?

 

A. Students are encouraged to meet with their Faculty Mentor once a semester but are not required to meet with them every semester.  All undergraduate ASEN students are required to meet with their Faculty Advisor in the Fall semester.  Students will have a Registration Hold (Advising Hold) on their record and must meet with their Faculty Mentor before they register for spring classes.  Students must have a signature from their Faculty Advisor on the Faculty Advisor Form and submit the form to Claire Yang at least 3 business days before their registration time assignment.

A. Many of the sessions occur in a group setting so that you can meet upper-classmen that share similar interests in research.

 

 

 Q. Where can I find the name of the Faculty Mentor that was assigned to me and how can I contact them?

 

A. In the Student Center of MyCUInfo.  It is in the blue box on the right side of the page.
