While the records maintained at each location share some things in common, they differ in detail, purpose, and use. Records are maintained in both hardcopy and computer-database form. The most common is one's academic history. It is the basis for review and advice relating to curriculum and graduation requirements.
Advisors are another key component.
Each student in General Engineering is paired with an academic advisor. A different advisor may be requested based on preference or if an advisor is no longer available. In addition, interacting with your advisor in person and by email as time passes will set the stage for potential recommendations and letters of reference for awards, scholarships, internships, permanent jobs, and graduate school. Significant advising tools complement the student-advisor relationship. The CPC is a virtually fail-safe way of insuring that no costly mistakes are made in planning future courses.
