Documents (red) provide helpful information so that you can read about various aspects of the CE program requirements.

Forms (blue) are used to select various actions. Forms are filled out - some on a computer then printed, some printed then filled out by hand. Bring the completed form to the CE Department office (LANG 207).

Declare or Change a Major or MinorIt is usually a simple matter to declare a major if you are currently "undeclared" or to change from your current major to another one.
Clearance in the MajorThe Clearance in the Major form (a.k.a., Grad Check) must be completed by each student during the semester prior to his/her final year of study.
Change to Clearance in the MajorIf a student decides to take a different class than s/he specified on the Clearance in the Major form, a second form must be completed to substitute the different course. The student's major academic advisor must submit this form by e-mail.
Petition a CE Program RequirementStudents may petition to make a substitution or change to CE program requirements. These requests usually involve substituting an unapproved course a student has already taken or plans to take against a similar but approved course. It is always better to file a petition before taking a substitute course, whenever possible. Petition requests are approved or denied by majority vote of the CE faculty. Students must consult with their major academic advisor when considering a petition.

Major Academic PlanThe MAP provides a comprehensive summary of all curricular requirements for the B. S. in Civil Engineering degree, including General Education requirements, organized in a hypothetical four-year plan.
CE Course MatrixThe CE Course Matrix is an Excel spreadsheet that is used by CE academic advisors to monitor student progress towards completition of degree requirements. Students may download this sheet to monitor their own progress.
Course Sequence FlowchartSince most courses in the Civil Engineering program have corresponding prerequisite courses, it is very important to take courses in the correct sequence.
Technical ElectivesMany courses are approved by the CE Department as applicable to the "technical elective" requirement.
CIVL ElectivesThe CE Department maintains a list of 500-level CIVL courses that are tentatively planned for scheduling over the next two or three semesters. These courses may be used to satisfy both the "engineering elective" and "technical elective" requirements.
Request or Change Academic AdvisorEvery CE major must have a major academic advisor. All permanent faculty in the CE program do academic advising. You may select an advisor of your choice or let the department choose one for you. You may change academic advisor at any time, no questions asked.
