Engineering Advising

1. Find and print the appropriate curriculum sheet for your catalog year, major, and license option (see link near top of page).
2. Complete the curriculum sheet by making notations to the right of the credit hours. NOTE: this is a common way of completing the sheet, but you should follow your advisor's instructions if they request something different.
   1. Mark courses you've already completed, either at Maritime or via transfer credit, with a check (✔)
   2. Mark courses you're currently taking with a tilde (~)
   3. Mark courses you plan to take next semester with a star (✩)
3. Bring the completed sheet to your advising appointment, along with any other documentation your advisor requests.

Degree Curricula and Flowcharts are found at the link below, sorted first by program, then by license and catalog year. You must select the correct catalog year (see FAQ below), or the sheet may be incorrect.

Curricula and Flowcharts

You can find your primary advisor by checking DegreeWorks. This information will be listed near the top of the page, and it will appear approximately as shown in the examples below.

If you arrive at Maritime as a first-year student and are enrolled in LEAD 101, your primary advisor is your LEAD 101 instructor for your first year. Your DegreeWorks page will have a section near the top that looks like the image below, which lists your primary advisor. In the image below, for example, the student should seek out Mrs. Stroud for advisement.

Once you become a second-year student, or if you transfer to Maritime as an upper-division student, your primary advisor will be someone in your major. In the image below, for example, the student should seek out Dr. Gosselin for advisement.

This is found on DegreeWorks, as shown in the example image below. It is crucial that you know your catalog year and select the corresponding degree curriculum and flowchart, as there were significant changes in recent years.

When deciding what classes to take, you should take into account the following concerns:

• Which courses are only offered in fall or spring (indicated by a bold-faced font on the curriculum sheet).
• How many credits you wish to take.
• Pre- and co-requisites (see the flowchart for your program).
• When you hope to graduate.

In general, it is crucial that you complete math and physics classes as early as possible, because these are pre-requisites for many other classes in your program.

If you are interested in changing majors within or into the Engineering Department, you must follow our change of major policy. See Dr. Gosselin if you're not sure how to proceed.

1. Before registering for the course, complete the Off-Campus Course Request Form (found on the Registrar’s webpage) to ensure that the course will be accepted for credit.
2. Complete the course, and keep in mind that a minimum grade of C is required for all transfer courses.
3. Once your grade is posted, have the other school send your official transcript to

Office of the Registrar
