College of Engineering students are required to meet with their academic advisor at least once every semester to discuss their course plan and degree progress. Follow these steps for a productive meeting with your academic advisor.

Step 1: Review COIN

  • make note of your upcoming enrollment appointment
  • address any holds or to-do items listed in your account
  • make note of your academic advisor's name and contact information

Step 2: Schedule an appointment with your academic advisor

Step 3: Prepare for the meeting with you academic advisor(s)

  • access your curriculum information and flowchart
    • indicate which courses you have completed/currently completing (use your advisement report in COIN for assistance with university studies requirements)
    • indicate the courses you plan to enroll in for the upcoming semester - you should also add them to your shopping cart* in COIN (see COIN videos for assistance)
  • explore opportunities related to your major such as a concentration or minor

Step 4: Attend the meeting

  • come with questions and be prepared to talk
  • if you need to reschedule, notify your academic advisor as soon as possible

Step 5: Follow through after the meeting

  • confirm your advising hold has been removed
  • double check the courses in your shopping cart
  • finish enrolling on your enrollment date (eligible to begin enrolling at 7:30a on this date)
  • confirm your enrollment is complete by viewing the upcoming semester's schedule in your COIN Student Services Center
  • address any error messages or concerns with your academic advisor

*REMINDER - placing classes in your shopping cart does not hold you a seat in the course. You must finish enrolling on (or after) your enrollment date.

If you are currently a UMass Dartmouth student, you may apply to change to a major within the College of Engineering by meeting our change of major standards. This information is also available in a PDF format (Change of Major Handout [PDF]). Reach out to ES3 advisor early in this process to be advised on these requirements and course selections for registration.
