Academic Advising

Getting Advised for Courses

During your first year at Southeastern all Computer Science majors are advised by the Center for Student ExcellenceYour SE 101 instructor is your advisor for your first two semesters.Click here for more information.  Every semester after that the Department of Computer Science is responsible for advising.

All students must be advised each semester to have the registration hold removed. If a student does not yet have an assigned advisor they can come to the Computer Science office or call (985) 549-2189 to be assigned a faculty advisor in their concentration or area of interest. Appointments can be scheduled with the advisor in person or the student can use the on-line advising system (see instructions below). However, Freshmen have to see their advisor at least once in person to get to know them. The following resources may be helpful:
