Faculty Advisor Transition Process
Computer Science majors will work with their professional advisors until all required 100-level CS courses are completed with grades of C or better. If a student completes those requirements in the spring semester, they will be assigned to their new faculty advisor in the summer and have their first advising appointment with their new advisor in the fall advising period. If a student completes these requirements in the fall semester, they will be assigned to their new faculty advisor during the winter break and meet for their first advising appointment with their new advisor in the spring advising period.
Cybersecurity majors will work with their professional advisors until they have completed both CS 120 and MATH 176. If a student completes those requirements in the Spring semester, they will be assigned to their new faculty advisor in the summer and have their first advising appointment with their new advisor in the fall advising period. If a student completes these requirements in the fall semester, they will be assigned to their new faculty advisor during the winter break and meet for their first advising appointment with their new advisor in the Spring advising period.
If you have any questions about who your advisor is, it is listed in your Student Profile on MyUI. If no advisor is listed, please visit the CS Office in Janssen Engineering Bldg 236 or call 208-885-6592.

To request an exception to the academic requirements in the General Catalog due to extenuating circumstances that have contributed to your academic standing, class registration, or academic performance College of Engineering students may submit an Academic Petition. Below are the steps to submit an Academic Petition.
- Meet with your academic advisor to see if an Academic Petition is the appropriate course of action.
- Complete the Academic Petition form (PDF) and obtain supporting documentation or letter(s) of support. The Academic Petition form is also on the Office of the Registrar Forms page.
- Pay $10 fee to Student Accounts in the Pitman Center or by phone at 208-885-7447. Petition cannot be heard until the $10 fee has been paid.
- Drop off your Academic Petition with the form stamped as “paid” and any supporting documentation to College of Engineering Student Services in the Jansen Engineering Building (JEB), room 125 or via email at engr-sss@uidaho.edu.
- Petitions are discussed and approved or denied by the Academic Petitions Committee, composed of University of Idaho faculty members and administration. Petitions are normally heard on Thursday afternoons. Petitions should be submitted to the College of Engineering Student Services Office (JEB 125) by Wednesday at 9:00am before the Thursday that the University Academic Petitions Committee meets. After a petition has been presented, a college representative will send information to your VandalMail about the committee’s decision.
