Academic Advising
Getting Advised into Courses
During your first semester at Southeastern all Computer Science and Industrial Technology majors are advised by the Center for Student Excellence. Every semester after that the Department of Computer Science and Industrial Technology is responsible for advising.
All students must be advised each semester to have the registration hold removed. If a student does not yet have an assigned advisor they can come to the Computer Science and Industrial Technology office or call 985-549-2189 to be assigned a faculty advisor in their concentration or area of interest. Appointments can be scheduled with the advisor in person or the student can use the on-line advising system (see instructions below). However, Freshmen have to see their advisor at least once in person to get to know them. The following resources may be helpful:
