Advising


Academic Advisor: Diana Stoppiello, MBA

Students do not need to select a major prior to admission to the university. The first three semesters of coursework are common to all undergraduate engineering programs, providing students with time for thoughtful selection of a major. The engineering course, "EGN 1006L Intro to the Engineering Prof.," which is required of all engineering students, provides an introduction to selected fields of engineering and focuses on hands-on laboratory activities and exploration of professional opportunities associated with the engineering degree programs offered at FGCU.

Student Services
The U.A. Whitaker School of Engineering provides the following services for students:

  • Academic advising and program information for current and potential students
  • Referral to faculty mentors and campus resources for career planning
  • Communication regarding internship opportunities
  • Orientation for students applying for admission to the school
  • Assistance with issues related to registration and academic standing
  • Evaluation of academic transcripts and articulation of transfer credits
  • Maintenance of academic advising records and degree audits
  • Certification of graduation

Students are expected to take primary responsibility to meet with their academic advisor on a regular basis to insure completion of all requirements for graduation.

The engineering degree programs help prepare students to be successful when taking the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, the first step towards professional licensure. Although the engineering and computer science degree programs are offered by the Lutgert College of Business, they are non-business degrees.

Transfer credit will normally be accepted from regionally accredited institutions.  Transfer credit received by The Office of Admissions will be evaluated for appropriate credit toward specific requirements in the student's degree program.  Registration assistance will be provided at transfer orientation based on the evaluation of official transcripts and degree applicable transfer credit.  Admitted students may view transfer credit and access a Degree Evaluation in the Student Records secton of the Gulfline Accounts.  Degree evaluation instructions may be found at this link:  http://www.fgcu.edu/OCI/cappstudents.html
