Academic Advising

Please follow the instructions below to complete your academic advising process. Please follow the steps carefully and keep them for your reference.

1. Complete the pre-filled advising sheet you received in your SELU email according to the instructions below. Have a copy of your concentration prerequisite flowchart (listed at the bottom of this page) to help you determine the right sequence of classes.
2. If this is the first time you are advised by the IET department, you may need to fill out a blank advising sheet based on your concentration, see the list below.
3. Watch the short video below explaining how to use these fillable forms.
4. Fill out the Excel spreadsheet provided.
   1. Please notice that you need to complete both sheets in the Excel spreadsheet. Update the first tab to mark all classes that you have already taken or are currently taking. Then add the classes you plan to enroll in the second tab (lower right side).
   2. In parallel, find your concentration courses available for the intended semester in Workday and add them to your saved schedule to build your initial schedule and ensure there is no time conflict. Add your concentration courses first, as they are mostly offered in one section during specific semesters. Then, add the rest of the classes in the remaining time slots. Here is the Workday guide to search for offered courses sections.
5. Once completed, save your advising file under the following name format Lastname_FirstName (W0xxxxxx), and email it to your designated academic advisor for approval, to remove the hold, and to be able to enroll in your selected classes. 

Also, please download a copy of this form (MyName_W######_MyAcademicPlan), complete it, save it with your name, and share it with your assigned advisor, to make sure you are progressing well in your degree plan.

Switching Majors

Please make sure that you update your major in Workday (Request a change of major here), to reflect your actual concentration, before advising. The procedure to request an override as well as the common procedures for different tasks in Workday is explained in one of the resources listed here under Studetn Guides.

P.S. As a student at Southeastern Louisiana University, you have free access to Microsoft Office 365, which includes Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and more. To get started, follow these steps listed here.

You can always schedule an in-person, or online meeting with your academic advisor. If you have any issues or questions regarding this advising process, please let your academic advisor know. For general inquiry about the department, programs, and concentrations, please contact our undergraduate coordinator, Dr. Emre Bahadir at ([email protected]).
