Advising
Due to a university change in the advising process, every student has now been assigned an Academic Advisor who will assist you with course selection, general questions and link you to various resources.
If you are currently an engineering student and want to schedule an appointment with your advisor, go to your Blackboard organizations and click on the icon with your major.
If you experience any problems scheduling an appointment, please reach out to ENGRAdvising@utep.edu. When sending an email, please include the following information:
- Full name
- Student ID
- Current Major
- Phone number you can be reached at
- Describe in detail the issue you are experiencing or ask the question(s) you have
If you still have questions, please come in person: ENGR E-201B or call us at 915-747-5460
