Read below for details about NSO specific to engineering:
- Prior to your scheduled NSO session, our college advisor, Ms. Betsy Loe (egrear@memphis.edu), will send an email with details about advising and registration to your University of Memphis email account. This account is used for all official communication, and should not be forwarded to other accounts. Get in the habit of checking this account often!
- You will be placed into a mathematics course based upon the math sub-score from the ACT. A critical factor for success and graduation in an engineering discipline is correct math placement. This is an important conversation to have with your advisor.
- If you are undecided as to which engineering major to choose, then select undecided engineering, and make sure you are advised in the college of engineering. We can help you select classes to stay on track for graduation and make the choice of an engineering major.
- It is important that you develop a positive relationship with your advisor. This starts during NSO.
