First-Year Undergraduate Advising
Are you in need of academic advising assistance? If so, connect with our Student Services academic advising team and make an appointment through VandalStar.
Faculty Advisor Transition Process
Civil Engineering majors work with a professional advisor through their first semester only. The professional advisor should notify students of their new faculty advisor assignment during their fall advising appointments. Official assignment of faculty advisors takes place in early March by the CEE Administrative Coordinator, who also sends an email to each student with information about their new advisor. Students meet with their new advisors in the spring advising period to register for the next fall.
If you have any questions about who your advisor is, it is listed in your Student Profile on VandalWeb. If no advisor is listed, please visit the CEE Office in Buchanan Engineering 102 or call 208-885-6782.
Transfer Students
If you have 13 or less transfer credits please email Student Services or call 208-885-6470. If you have 13 or more credits please email cee@uidaho.edu or call 208-885-6782.

To request an exception to the academic requirements in the General Catalog due to extenuating circumstances that have contributed to your academic standing, class registration, or academic performance College of Engineering students may submit an Academic Petition. Below are the steps to submit an Academic Petition.
- Meet with your academic advisor to see if an Academic Petition is the appropriate course of action.
- Complete the Academic Petition form (PDF) and obtain supporting documentation or letter(s) of support. The Academic Petition form is also on the Office of the Registrar Forms page.
- Pay $10 fee to Student Accounts in the Pitman Center or by phone at 208-885-7447. Petition cannot be heard until the $10 fee has been paid.
- Drop off your Academic Petition with the form stamped as “paid” and any supporting documentation to College of Engineering Student Services in the Jansen Engineering Building (JEB), room 125 or via email at engr-sss@uidaho.edu.
- Petitions are discussed and approved or denied by the Academic Petitions Committee, composed of University of Idaho faculty members and administration. Petitions are normally heard on Thursday afternoons. Petitions should be submitted to the College of Engineering Student Services Office (JEB 125) by Wednesday at 9:00am before the Thursday that the University Academic Petitions Committee meets. After a petition has been presented, a college representative will send information to your VandalMail about the committee’s decision.
