ECS Faculty Advising

Faculty Advisors ensure that students understand their discipline and curriculum, assist with course selection, support degree progress, and provide professional development and career advice.

Students meet with their Faculty Advisor each semester to discuss their courses for the following semester to ensure they remain on track with their curriculum.

You can find your Faculty/Major Advisors’ contact information in your Success Network on Orange Success.  Many Faculty Advisors also utilize Orange Success to schedule their appointments.  If they do not,, you can contact your Faculty Advisor via email to schedule an appointment

Syracuse University Professional Advising Mission Statement:

To collaboratively support and empower students in an inclusive environment to realize their potential, make informed decisions, and thrive in an interconnected and changing world.

ECS Professional Advising Mission, Vision, and Outcomes:

Mission: To provide all students a robust and holistic undergraduate experience by empowering them to seek opportunities to become successful through outreach, engagement, and relationship building in an inclusive environment.  Our staff takes a team approach to connecting students with a network of resources for academic, social, and career development.

Vision: We want to see every student succeed in the College of Engineering and Computer Science.  Starting in the first semester, each undergraduate student will be assigned to a support network consisting of a Faculty Advisor, Career Advisor, and Success Advisor to guide them on academic, professional, and personal matters from their transition to college through degree completion.  Additionally, all new students to ECS will be paired with a Student Success Peer Leader.  Peer Leaders support all initiatives offered by the Student Success Center and provide guidance, support, and friendship to new students throughout the first semester and beyond.
