Advising Model
All SSE students have two advisors to guide them through their academic journey: an academic advisor and a faculty advisor. Students can find the names of their assigned advisors listed in their support network in Workday. The difference between the two advisory roles is described in detail below.
Academic Advisors
Academic advisors should be a student’s first stop for assistance. Academic advisors are SSE Student Success team members who provide students with guidance on their major curriculum, course registration, academic progress, planning for summer studies, and changing a major. They are well versed in Stevens' policies and procedures, and can connect students with resources across campus as needed. Students should meet with their academic advisor at least once each semester to ensure they are making satisfactory progress toward degree completion.

Faculty Advisors
Faculty advisors are a student’s resource for more in-depth, subject area-specific questions and planning for long-term goals. Faculty advisors are the best resource to recommend concentrations or electives that best align with a student’s interests and goals. Students should also connect with their faculty advisor to discuss research and internship opportunities, or to get advice about their postgraduate career plans. Students can find the name of their assigned faculty advisor listed in their support network in Workday.
