Academics & Advising
Pre-engineering students can meet with any adviser in Student Academic Services (formerly Engineering Advising & Diversity Center). Advisers help you explore academic interests, develop plans for your major, understand and complete requirements, avoid or overcome administrative problems, and develop a sense of purpose in your undergraduate education.
- “Drop-in” advising is available Autumn, Winter and Spring quarters, Tuesday through Friday, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. There are no drop-in hours during Summer Quarter or during school breaks.
- To make an appointment with an adviser, please call (206) 543-1770 or e-mail engradv@u.washington.edu. When e-mailing to make an appointment please include the following information:
- Name
- Student Number
- Phone Number
- Times Available
- Reason for appointment
