Advising, EGR classification

The general classification EGR is given to undergraduate students who have been admitted to the College of Engineering but are not yet affiliated with a degree-granting engineering department.

All EGR students receive academic advising through the Engineering General Resources (EGR) Office. We welcome you at any time to discuss a wide variety of topics.

Advising, ISyE departmental

The industrial and systems engineering department assists students who transfer from the EGR classification or from outside UW-Madison. For advising assistance, please contact Pam Peterson in the North Student Services office at prpeters@engr.wisc.edu. 

To schedule an advising appointment, please visit https://tools.wisccal.wisc.edu/available or stop by the Student Services office in 3182 Mechanical Engineering for assistance.
