Undergraduate Advising
Overview
The School of Engineering sections in the Academic Catalog list each program's current academic requirements, suggested course schedules, and regulations. Visit your specific academic year catalog in the archived catalogs for your specific degree requirements, based on the semester you entered KU.
Jayhawk Academic Advising
Your dedicated engineering academic advisor is part of Jayhawk Academic Advising (JAA). Your advisor assignment is listed in Jayhawk GPS. This is where you will sign up for an advising appointment. For general inquiries, contact kuengr@ku.edu or advising@ku.edu.
Undergraduate academic advisors are broken down by programs advised. For undecided and pre-engineering students, contact your assigned advisor in Jayhawk GPS. If you know your JAA engineering academic advisor already, contact information is below. JAA also holds drop-in advising hours. Engineering students should scroll down to the "Majors" section and find information for Engineering.
Advising Appointments
Students need to review their degree requirements from the KU Catalog before their appointment. Look at the upcoming course offerings at the Schedule of Classes to see what will be offered. You should also take the time to create a Degree Progress Report so that you know what courses you have left to take. Students who come adequately prepared for their advising appointments have better conversations with their academic advisor.
Students entering KU from fall 2024 forward will use the Planner tool for checking their degree progress. More information about KU Planner is available from the Office of the University Registrar.

Students can check online in their Student Services Center in Enroll & Pay to see when their “enrollment appointment” is scheduled. Enrollment times are staggered. Typically the order is by year in school. Seniors first, juniors second, etc.
First, logon to Enroll & Pay with your online ID and password. Click on the Enrollment Dates link below the Student Center menu. This is the time the Registrar’s Office allows you to enroll in your classes in Enroll & Pay. You can also access hold information that has been placed on your record. Any holds (advising, parking, library, immunization, etc.) will need to be cleared before you will be permitted to enroll.
Typically, enrollment for the upcoming Spring semester begins right after Fall Break, and enrollment for upcoming Fall courses is right after Spring Break.
During main enrollment, be prepared to discuss classes you would like to take next semester. Your advisor will ask about your current classes and will offer resources as needed.
In Jayhawk GPS, you can specify appointment type and add any notes helpful for your academic advisor. This could include discussing graduation, updating your degree plan, adding a minor, etc.
***As of April 2025, the Honor Roll/Dean's List requirements in the School of Engineering are a 3.75 semester GPA with 12 graded, A-F, credit hours.
Undergraduate engineering students with grade-point averages of 3.75 who have completed at least 12 graded, A-F, credit hours are recognized on the Dean's List or University Honor Roll in fall and spring. An Honor Roll notation appears on the transcript.
