If you have not done so already, you should familiarize yourself with your degree curriculum flowchart and compare your progress to date along with what is shown in DegreeWorks (accessible via ).
Consult the schedule of classes now available for the upcoming semester(s) and create a proposed schedule for yourself.
- To make your draft schedule, you can view course offerings in the portal, as well as on the , and also via the third-party scheduler . Note: Clarify is not an official Illinois Tech service but was created by an Illinois Tech graduate as a convenient and helpful course scheduler tool.
Once you have drafted your proposed schedule, work with your academic adviser to receive approval. From there you'll be prepared to register for classes on your registration date.
For incoming undergraduate students, we have a document with additional advising information:

For reference, for students still in these programs:

All civil engineering and architectural engineering students are required to register for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination during their senior year. Most civil engineering students will take the Civil FE exam, and most architectural engineering students will take the Other Disciplines FE exam, although it is up to students to choose the exam that best fits their interests and level of preparation.
All students are encouraged to prepare for the FE exam and take the FE exam in their last semester or shortly after graduation.
The examination is offered by the throughout the year. Students are responsible for scheduling their own exams.
We recommend that students enrolled in accelerated master’s degrees take the FE exam in the summer between their fourth and fifth years.
Students are required to submit proof of registration for the FE exam to the Office of Academic Affairs (AA@iit.edu) prior to graduation (do not wait until the end of the semester if you can avoid it). Proof of registration may include a receipt from NCEES indicating they have registered and paid for the exam or a screenshot from their NCEES dashboard indicating registration and payment have been completed. The proof needs to have your name on the document that you send to Academic Affairs.
