Undergraduate

Spring 25 Advising

Welcome to Spring 25! 

Academic Advising for ME undergraduates is provided by a team of faculty from within the department and advisors from the Engineering Student Success Center (ESSC). Major advising is mandatory for all ME undergraduates whose graduation status is not yet "Applied for Graduation" or "Needs to Finish Pending Work." Until major advising is completed in the current semester, there will be a hold on your class registration for the upcoming semester. 

If you have completed more than 60 units of college-level coursework, and have NOT completed your advising during your Fall 2024 semester, you may use Spartan Connect to make an appointment with one of the ME advisors. Dr. Crystal Han, Dr. Lin Jiang, and Spoorthy Ananthaiah are available for major advising and their hours are shown below. Major Advising will be done virtually via Zoom. 

The following advising hours will begin as of 08/19/2024:

Dr. Crystal Han:  Mondays 9:00 - 12:00 pm, 1:00 - 4:00 pm
Dr. Lin Jiang: Tuesdays 7:30-11:30 am 
Spoorthy Ananthaiah:  Monday 12:00 -2:00 pm
                                       Tuesday 12:30 - 2:30 pm 
                                        Thursday 12:30-2:30 pm

Prior to your advising session, update your MyPlanner so it shows your most current course plans. Right before your appointment, please open your MyPlanner report and be ready to share your screen on Zoom. Please avoid joining the advising meeting via your cell phone since it creates significant barriers to efficient advising. You will be  expected to navigate and update your MyPlanner in real time during the advising. 

If you have completed 60 or fewer units of college-level coursework, you would ordinarily see and advisor from the ESSC, with availability posted at /essc/coe-undergraduate-advising/advising/. 

If you have already applied for graduation, you are welcome to meet optionally with either of the faculty advisors above, but advising is not mandatory. Holds will be lifted instead by the ESSC. It is still very important to check your MyProgress report to ensure that all requirements will be met. If you have any doubts, please be welcome to email bsme-advising-group@sjsu.edu with your student ID number and a list of the classes that you plan to take in your last semester(s). 

General questions about BSME advising or degree requirements are welcome via bsme-advising-group@sjsu.edu.
