3rd Year EGR students (5th semester):
If you are an EGR student in your 3rd year or 5th semester (summer sessions don’t count), you must see your EGR advisor to clear your advising hold. Call 608-262-2473 to schedule an appointment.
EGR students who have officially transferred out of engineering:
If you have officially transferred out of the College of Engineering, check MyUW to find out if an advising hold has been placed on your registration. If an advising hold is active, e-mail your former EGR advisor or email EGRadvisor@engr.wisc.edu to have the hold removed. Please mention your name, ID number, new major (if you have chosen one), list of classes, and new school or college (for example, Letters & Science).
EGR students who are planning on transferring out of engineering:
If you are thinking of transferring out of engineering, you can either:
- Attend a Cross College Advising Service (CCAS) presentation. CCAS will be present at the Group Advising Event on Friday, October 26th from 1pm-2pm and Monday, October 29th from 3pm-4pm.
- See another advisor on campus to learn more about what classes you need for your new major. Afterwards, e-mail your EGR advisor to have the hold removed. Please include your name, ID number, new major (if you have chosen one), list of classes, and the name of the advisor you met with. Do this at least a week before your expected registration time, in case there are complications. Note: You must register for a minimum of 12 credits.
