Who is my advisor?

1. OFFICIAL CS MAJORS

Your academic advisor is listed on our list of official CS majors.

You are an "official CS major" if you have made it through the "gateway" courses:
       CSCI 1302
       CSCI 2610
--you must earn a C or better in each of these courses.

If you are through the gateway courses and are not listed on this list, contact Dan Everett at dme @ cs.uga.edu.

2. INTENDED MAJORS:  

Juniors and seniors (over 60 hrs.): you will see Dan Everett in 217 Boyd GSRC. Contact Dr. Everett at dme @ cs.uga.edu or 542-2749.

Freshmen and sophomores (under 60 hrs.) that are not honors students: you are seen at Franklin College.

Each semester you will be notified via email when the Department is ready to advise you. It is your responsibility to set up an appointment with your departmental advisor. Typically, email is the most efficient method for contacting your advisor.

Please set up your appointment as early as possible, so that you can be cleared to register before your scheduled registration time. You can find your registration time on OASIS.

Before your advising appointment, check out your departmental degree progress worksheet. If there is anything on this sheet that you don't understand or disagree with, please see Dr. Dan Everett to reconcile the worksheet before you visit your advisor. It is a good idea to print out the worksheet and pencil in the courses you might want to take.

After your advising appointment, Dr. Everett will clear you for registration. If you are late to register, you may hand-carry your registration form to Dr. Everett's office, room 217 Boyd.

How do I prepare for graduation?

Graduation check: This is the procedure to guarantee that you will graduate if you successfully complete your courses.

When? As soon as you have chosen all the Computer Science classes you will use to fulfill your major requirements.

Graduation Date: You might receive a notice from the University telling you to get a graduation check, before you are ready. This notice is triggered by your expected graduation date stored in the University's records. If you find that your expected graduation date is no longer realistic, log on to OASIS and use the Check Degree Program/Graduation option to change your expected graduation date.

First stop: CS Department: E-mail dme @ cs.uga.edu to tell Dan Everett that you are ready to graduate. If you have completed or are on track to complete the degree requirements, Dr. Everett will let you know and you can go on to the next step. If there are any special substitutions in your case, Dr. Everett will write a letter that will certify that your courses meet departmental degree requirements.

Second stop: Franklin College:
1. Email Greg Kline, gkline at franklin.uga.edu, and ask for an e-grad check. He will send you a confirmation by e-mail listing the requirements/courses that you have to satisfy in order to graduate. Keep this confirmation until you graduate.

Check the Franklin College Graduation Certification Office web site for additional information on graduation.
