Advising

Academic advising is required for all UAB Engineering students. Students must have a Registration Access Code (RAC) in order to register for courses. RACs will be given to students only after meeting with their advisor.

Questions about financial aid, housing, and other topics should be directed to One Stop.

Graduate Students

Graduate students are advised by faculty in their program. All students must have a Registration Access Code (RAC) in order to register for courses. RACs will only be given after meeting with the advisor. If you have questions, please contact your graduate program director.

INTO UAB Students

""If you are graduating from Pathways to an engineering department, you should contact your department's graduate program director at least four weeks before the end of the semester. The director will advise you on courses for the upcoming semester as well as proposed thesis topics (if applicable). UAB's International Admissions Department will readmit you to degree-seeking status (after verifying you meet all progression requirements) within two days of official grades being posted. After you are readmitted, you must receive a Registration Access Code (RAC) from your engineering advisor, and then you will register yourself in courses. You will not receive a Registration Access Code (RAC) until you have met with your advisor. Your INTO UAB Advisors will email you with important progression dates and information that you should refer to during this process. If you do not meet progression requirements, you will receive an email from your INTO UAB Advisor with instructions.
