Our mission is to provide comprehensive academic advising and effective student success programming to support a rewarding and successful college experience for all BME students. We do this through personalized academic advising, professional and personal development support, student success programming and career transition workshops.

New Students

New incoming students are provided instructions for attending registration advising during new student orientation. Please register for UT Orientation after accepting your offer of admission. All undergraduate students majoring in biomedical engineering are required to have a laptop. Ensure your laptop is compliant. 

Current Students

All current BME students must receive academic advising every semester. During registration periods—typically in March and October—we communicate required advising procedures to students by email and in the BME Student Canvas site. Current students can also find useful information via ENGR Direct.
