Undergraduate Advising

The faculty and administration of the College of Computer and Information Science pride themselves on maintaining a supportive environment for all of our students. CCIS offers the community feel of a small college, combined with the broad set of opportunities and choices of a large urban university.

Undergraduate advising is an essential element of the supportive environment for students. At CCIS, there are many ways students can reach out to their advisors:

  • Academic advisors are available every day that classes are in session. The three CCIS academic advisors are Mark Erickson, Melissa Peikin and Aileen Yates. Students can meet with any of the three advisors. Please note that while all advisors see students from every class year, Aileen Yates is the Freshmen Advisor and Melissa Peikin works with seniors preparing to graduate.

  • There are two ways to meet with an Advisor: Student Appointment and Walk-in. If Walk-in hours are scheduled, you may come any time during this time block. If you would like to reserve a time block specifically for you, you should schedule a Student Appointment. To access availability, please follow the steps below:

    1. Log-in to myNEU.com
    2. Click on the Experiential-Learning/Co-op tab
    3. Under “Co-op” on the left-hand side, click on “Appointment Calendar”
    4. Search by college – we can be found under “Co-op/Computer & Information Science”
    5. Click on the name of the person you would like to meet with
  • Students can talk with a professor who is currently holding advising hours or wait until the professor of their choice has his or her advising hours.
