10. Advising and APAS Reports

10.1. Advising for Undergraduate Students

All students may seek advice from course instructors and faculty members. Advisors can answer questions about the CS&E degrees and minors, course requirements, the upper division track, general career opportunities, etc. Instructors and faculty can answer questions about specific classes they teach, careers in their area of expertise, etc. Advisor office hours are posted on the CS undergraduate web page. Faculty members have office hours posted in the Computer Science and Engineering Department office, and often outside their office doors.

10.2. Lower division CSE students and CLA pre-computer science students

Lower division CSE students and CLA pre-computer science students are advised through their college lower division/pre-major advising office, although they are welcome to visit the Computer Science Undergraduate Advisors as well.

CSE Lower Division Advising: 105 Lind Hall, 624-2980

CLA: 114 Johnston Hall, 625-2020

10.3. Upper division CSE students and CLA declared computer science majors

Upper division CSE students and CLA declared computer science majors should visit a CSci Advisor for computer science questions. Additionally, all students must see a Computer Science Advisor upon admission to upper division.

CSE students must have their upper division track classes and advanced math oriented elective approved by the Computer Science Undergraduate Advisor. We recommend students do this no later than the start of their senior year. Appropriate forms are available in the CS department office.

CSci advisors can answer questions about computer science courses, careers, degree requirements, etc. Sometimes students will need to see their college office (for example, to submit petitions, ask questions about college requirements, etc.).

CSci Upper Division Advising: Keller Hall 4-196B, 612-625-4055, advisor@cs.umn.edu.

CSE Student Advising: 105 Lind Hall, 624-2890.

CLA Upper Division Advising: 49 Johnston Hall, 624-2020

10.4. Tracking Your Progress with APAS (Academic Progress Audit System)

Your APAS report is your guide to how you are progressing toward your goal of a bachelor's degree. APAS Reports are available online at the OneStop website. Note that anytime you meet a CSci Advisor or Director of Undergraduate Studies concerning your progress in your major, you should bring copies of your APAS report. If you have had any coursework transferred from other institutions but which is not yet showing up on your APAS, you should also bring a copy of your track (transfer course) report.
