Advising
Advisers are an instrumental component to help guide you through your educational career. New students in Aerospace Engineering will spend their first year working with a staff adviser to discuss potential paths and opportunities to explore.
After year one, students are assigned to a faculty adviser, who will continue providing guidance through the remainder of their degree program.
- Please direct all general Aerospace advising questions to aero-ugrad-advising@illinois.edu
- Students may access their advising plan at my.ae.illinois.edu/academic-planning/.
- For Coop/Internship, Study Abroad, and Honors advising, please visit 329 Talbot Lab.
- Additional advising resources may be found at The Grainger College of Engineering Undergraduate Advising Page.
Over the summer and during breaks there will not be regular drop-in advising hours. Students may email aero-ugrad-advising@illinois.edu to schedule an advising appointment or ask questions. We will resume drop-in advising hours when the fall semester begins.
