EECS Undergraduate Faculty Advising

Every EECS student is assigned a Faculty Advisor and a College of Engineering SAO Advisor. If you do not know who your Faculty Advisor is, you can come by 205 Cory Hall and look in the Red Book titled Faculty Advising 2009.

Please note: Some students have new faculty advisors if:

  • Their faculty advisor has retired
  • Their faculty advisor went on sabbatical or leave
  • The new student is in the Honors Program

New Changes for Faculty Advising this semester

Effective immediately, you can quickly and easily obtain an unofficial degree check online via BearFACTS using the Degree Audit Reporting system (DARS). The DARS application compares your academic work with the requirements of your degree program and prepares a comprehensive report detailing your progress toward meeting those requirements. This gives you an automated process to review your progress toward graduation at any time.

In addition to DARS, there is now EECS degree worksheets (similar to the old degree check) for every major available online and the Tele-BEARS Schedule form . Effective immediately, College of Engineering students are expected to fill out and bring these worksheets , a copy of their Bear Facts transcript , and the Tele-BEARS Schedule form when they go to faculty advising. You should NOT print out your DARS report – these print out many pages! You can use the DARS report or your transcript to fill out the worksheet. Faculty will not meet with students who arrive without the degree worksheet and the Tele-BEARS Schedule form filled out and a copy of their transcript.

Beginning September 28th, the undergraduate advising website will be updated to include detailed information about DARS (available at http://www.coe.berkeley.edu/dars) as well as access to EECS degree planning worksheets and the Tele-BEARS Schedule form for each major. We strongly advise you to read over the information on this site before ordering your first degree audit report because there are unique aspects to running an audit for College of Engineering students.

As a student in the College of Engineering it is your responsibility to know and complete satisfactorily all degree requirements within the allotted time frame. Advisers are available to guide you through the various requirements of the College of Engineering curriculum, but it is your responsibility to ensure that you fulfill them. We trust that these new tools will provide a streamlined and very convenient way for you to track completion of requirements. If at any point you don’t understand a particular requirement, or have any questions about your progress toward your degree, see your Student Affairs Adviser in 308 McLaughlin.
