Who We Are

The Computer Science (CS) Undergraduate Advising team provides major academic advising to currently matriculated UCD undergraduate students in Computer Science (CS) and Computer Science & Engineering (CSE). CS Undergraduate Advisors partner with CS and CSE students to provide assistance on their academic journey. Our goal is to teach our students how to understand their academic requirements and navigate the university resources available to help them along the way. Advising is a collaborative process that will require each student to play an active role.
