Academic Advising

Getting Advised for Courses

During your first year at Southeastern all Industrial and Engineering Technology majors (IT, ET, and OSHE) are advised by the Office of First-Year Success. Your SE 101 instructor is your advisor for your first two semesters (until you complete 30 credit hours of course work at Southeastern). Every semester after that the Department of Industrial and Engineering Technology is responsible for advising.

All students must be advised each semester to have the registration hold removed. If a student does not yet have an assigned advisor they can come to the Industrial and Engineering Technology office or call 985-549-2189 to be assigned a faculty advisor in their concentration or area of interest. Appointments can be scheduled with the advisor in person or the student can use the on-line advising system (watch the video and see the fillable advising forms below).

Advising Process

Please follow the instructions below to complete your academic advising process. Please follow the steps carefully and keep them for your reference.

  1. Complete the pre-filled advising sheet you received in your SELU email according to the instructions below. Have a copy of your concentration prerequisite flowchart (listed at the bottom of this page) to help you determine the right sequence of classes.
  2. If this is the first time you are advised by the IET department, you will need to fill out a blank advising sheet based on your concentration, see the list below.
  3. Watch the short video below explaining how to use these fillable forms.
  4. Fill out the Excel spreadsheet provided.
    1. Please notice that you need to complete both sheets in the Excel spreadsheet. Update the first tab to mark all classes that you have already taken or are currently taking. Then add the classes you plan to enroll in the second tab (lower right side).
    2. In parallel, find your concentration courses available for the intended semester in Workday and add them to your cart to build your initial schedule and ensure there is no time conflict. Add your concentration courses first, as they are mostly offered in one section during specific semesters. Then, add the rest of the classes in the remaining time slots. Here is the Workday guide to search for offered courses sections.
  5. Once completed, save your advising file under the following name format Lastname_FirstName (W0xxxxxx), and email it to your designated academic advisor for approval, to remove the hold, and to be able to enroll in your selected classes. 

Also, please download a copy of this form (MyNAme_W######_MyAcademicPlan), complete it, save it with your name, and share it with your assigned advisor, to make sure you are progressing well in your degree plan.

Switching Majors

Please make sure that you update your major in Workday (Instructions are here), to reflect your actual concentration, before advising. The procedure to request an override as well as the common procedures for different tasks in Workday is explained in one of the resources listed here.

P.S. As a student at Southeastern Louisiana University, you have free access to Microsoft Office 365, which includes Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and more. To get started, follow these steps listed here.

 

You can always schedule an in-person, or online meeting with your academic advisor. If you have any issues or questions regarding this advising process, please let your academic advisor know. For general inquiry about the department, programs, and concentrations, please contact our undergraduate coordinator, Mr. Jared Reno at ([email protected]).

Transfer Courses

If you have questions about transfer courses and if they will count in your degree completion sheet, you must speak with a Program Coordinator or the Department Head. You must provide the course description (and syllabus if possible) so that we can best determine if the course will count in our curricula.

Contact information for the Program Coordinators and Department can be found here.

Course Substitutions

Course Substitutions will only be considered prior the semester in which the course is to be taken. Approval must be granted from the Department Head and also the Dean’s Office before the course is taken. Transfer course substitutions must be requested during the student’s first semester at Southeastern.
