Academic Advising

All declared Computer Science (CSE) and Information Systems (ISE) majors have a major checklist outlining their degree requirements in their Shared Google Drive under ‘First Name Last Name Stony Brook ID #’. If you are unable to access your checklist, please email csugcomm@cs.stonybrook.edu

*Note, if you recently declared a CSE or ISE major, please monitor your SBU email for your checklist*

All students are encouraged to seek advice from their advisor whenever they have questions about their progress, grades or courses. You can view the advising calendar here.
