Advising for B.S. in AEM students

Student services advisor meets with a student to review course options.

Academic advising at the Dyson School is an intentional, developmental process. Advisors work with students to support academic success, course planning, degree progress, faculty connections, and access to campus resources. Students are ultimately responsible for their academic decisions and how those decisions shape their Cornell experience.

Academic advisors can help with short- and long-term course planning, degree requirements, academic difficulty, and connections to faculty. They can also help students locate academic, health, and wellness support services across campus.

Who is my academic advisor?

The Dyson Office of Student Services and Advising has dedicated professional academic advisors who meet with and support Dyson students. Students are encouraged to build relationships with advisors and develop a broader network of people and resources across campus. 

Will I have a faculty advisor?

Dyson does not assign faculty advisors. Students are strongly encouraged to connect with faculty through office hours, research, and teaching assistantships. Faculty can be helpful resources for connecting academic and career interests, exploring graduate school, and requesting letters of recommendation. 

Meet with an academic advisor

Drop-in advising

For quick questions, a drop-in visit with the Dyson Office of Student Services and Advising may be the best option. Drop-in visits typically last five to 10 minutes. Current drop-in hours, including virtual availability, are available through Dyson Launchpad under “connect with an academic advisor.”

Scheduled appointments

For longer conversations about academic progress, course planning, or personal concerns, schedule an appointment with an academic advisor through Dyson Launchpad. Students can choose the advisor whose availability works best with their calendar.

 

Plan my academic path

The Dyson Office of Student Services and Advising can help B.S. in AEM students build an academic plan that connects coursework, career goals, and community. Advisors can help students think through degree requirements, course sequencing, study abroad, summer research, and other experiential learning opportunities.

Students should meet with an academic advisor early when considering:

Summer research

Academic difficulty or personal concerns

Faculty connections through office hours, research, or teaching assistantships

Transferring

Graduating early or late?

Can I graduate early?
First-year students may be able to graduate in fewer than eight semesters. Students interested in this path should plan early, consider taking a minimum of 15 credits per semester, and meet with an academic advisor to discuss options. Transfer students should meet with an academic advisor to review their individual situation. 

Can I graduate late?
Delayed graduation is typically approved only when extenuating circumstances prevent a student from completing degree requirements on time. Students are not permitted to extend graduation to pursue optional programming such as double majors, minors, or study abroad. 

Find academic and campus support

The Dyson Office of Student Services and Advising is the primary support resource for B.S. in AEM students, and students can also access personal, academic, and professional support across Cornell.

Clubs and organizations

Student organizations give B.S. in AEM students opportunities to build community, develop leadership skills and connect their academic interests with professional goals. Dyson-related organizations include the Dyson Undergraduate Council, Cornell Finance Club, Dyson Dean’s Council, and other Cornell business clubs.
