Advising

The Academic Advisor for Undergraduate Chemical Engineering for non-honors students is Ms. Veronica Ellison. CHEE virtual advising is available from 3 pm – 5 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Please email her to get an appointment if you want zoom virtual advising. You may also contact her by email if advising is needed outside these hours at vellison [at] central.uh.edu (vellison[at]central[dot]uh[dot]edu). Honors students are advised by Drs. Bollini and Cirino (refer to assignment list below). 

Students currently enrolled in CHEE 2331 or CHEE 3333 will have a mandatory faculty advising enrollment hold placed on their accounts. A completed CHEE Advising Form must be emailed to Ms. Ellison in order for this hold to be removed, and to permit enrollment in courses for the next semester. Students with advising holds may choose to waive advising, but must still complete and submit the form.

Mandatory faculty advising sessions are an opportunity for students to seek career mentoring/planning, help with degree planning, and to answer any questions concerning academic policies or research opportunities, etc. Meeting duration is 10-15 minutes. This must be accomplished during the month of October for holds placed in the Fall semester, and March for holds placed in the Spring semester.

Each student’s faculty advisor is listed below. Contact your advisor to schedule an appointment. As indicated on the CHEE Advising Form, students are to prepare in advance an updated flow chart — this should indicate which courses you have completed, and your plans for the coming semester.

All students on probation or suspension, or active but currently not enrolled, are advised by Dr. Cirino (Undergraduate Program Director, pccirino [at] uh.edu (pccirino[at]uh[dot]edu)).

*Useful information to note prior to seeking advising:

This summer we will offer: CHEE 2331, CHEE 2332, CHEE 3321, and CHEE 3369. We are also hoping to offer two Technical Electives this summer: CHEE 5370 (Sust & Environ Mitig) and CHEE 5379. *Note that any or all summer courses may be canceled if enrollment is insufficient.

Note that the only senior-year course for which CHEE 3367 (Proc Control) is a prerequisite is CHEE 4361 (Practices Lab). This means you can take CHEE 3367 in the Fall semester of the senior year and then take CHEE 4361 in the Spring / final semester of your senior year (provided all other prerequisites are met).

You are encouraged to enroll in PROMES workshops, designed to improve success in certain CHEE courses.

In addition to the various tutoring resources available in the links below, we also offer free tutoring for CHEE students, for select courses: CHEE Tutor sign-up calendar F26.xlsx
