If you are not assigned to me for advising, but you would like to set up an advising appointment to discuss the CIS program, please email me. Include your Name, G Number (if you have one), your major and what you need assistance with.
I can help with:
- Explaining the difference between CIS (or IT) and Computer Science

- Choosing First Term Classes
- Mapping out your classes for any of the Certificates or AAS Degrees from the CIS Program.
- Lifting your Veterans Hold and creating a three term plan for your VA Educational Benefits

Some things I can not help with:
- I can not answer Financial Aid questions. Due to Federal privacy laws, students must work directly with financial aid with any questions. They can be reached at 971 722-8888, option 4
- I can not register, drop or withdraw you from a class. Students are the only ones who can register, drop and/or withdraw themselves from a class.
- I can not mediate or resolve disputes or appeals with instructors. Please visit this page for information on student appeals.
