Each student majoring in any program of the Department of Computer Science has a program advisor (also called faculty advisor) in the department, helping with course selection, navigating major requirements, deciding on a specific major, certificate, career choices, etc. Any student is welcome to contact their listed faculty advisor. However, students taking Cmp Sci 2261 will have a hold requiring them to speak to their faculty advisor, and the hold will reappear every year thereafter.
This is different from the college advisor (also called professional advisor) helping students with everything outside of the major program, including general education courses, degree audit, etc.
A students is assigned a faculty advisor based on the first letter of the student' s last names and the specific major.
