Every student entering the civil engineering program is assigned a faculty advisor to guarantee an appropriate plan of study and to insure continuity throughout the program. Each student completes university general education courses and civil engineering program requirements that include elective courses.

Students entering the civil engineering program should have adequate credentials in algebra and trigonometry or higher to enter the calculus sequence. Students not entering at the calculus level will not be eligible to register for civil engineering courses until meeting the mathematics requirement. This may result in a delay in graduation.
