Academic Advising
How academic advising works
Aligning with ABET Accreditation standards, academic advising in the Norm Asbjornson
College of Engineering (NACOE) follows a decentralized, split-shared services model.
This model combines the expertise of faculty advisors and academic coordinators in
each NACOE department/school to both connect students to their industry and guide them
through the specific coursework for their declared major. This strategic approach
also facilitates student relationships with their major department through:
- encouraging student engagement between students and their home department;
- supporting identity development as an engineering or computer science student;
- cultivating professional development skills through student activities; and
- facilitating academic progression through major through NACOE staff and faculty advising.

COEX: For students needing a guide for Math Level 1, 2, or 3 start in any NACOE major.
Supporting Transfer Students
If you are a transferring to MSU from another college or university, please refer to the NACOE Transfer Guide available to facilitate your transition. It is best to start the search for affordable housing a year before you plan to attend MSU. For MSU housing options, plan to apply at least 6 months before the planned move date. Some MSU housing options may have as much as a 1-year wait list.
Student Mentors: ePALS (Peer Academic Leaders)
Remember, the Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering has a group of students available to help orient you to your college. Our NACOE Peer Academic Leaders (ePALs) are accessible through office hours, email, organized events, and at their "Pop-up Stations" in the Engineering Complex. Click here for information about this year's ePALs and how to contact them.
