Each student is assigned an official advisor to help with scheduling, career planning, or other academic matters. The appropriate time to meet with an advisor is during the semester, as they are usually busy during registration. If the advisor is not available, one of the departmental staff assistants can locate him/her or contact another person who can help the student. More information can be reached through Dr. Robert Melton, Principal Advisor, 229 Hammond, 865-1185. He can also assist in complex scheduling problems.
Professors, graduate teaching assistants, and undergraduate teaching interns hold scheduled office hours for student help. Special appointments can also be arranged if the student cannot meet the scheduled office hours. One of the department secretaries may be able to help arrange such appointments.
Individual tutoring for 300-level aerospace engineering courses is provided by Sigma Gamma Tau members during scheduled hours. Group help sessions can be arranged if warranted by substantial interest on a particular subject. Scheduled tutoring hours are announced throughout the semester.
