Academic Advising
Have a question? Begin by reviewing our Frequently Asked Questions!
If you want to make an appointment, please start by completing your ECO “On Track” Calculator. This form is designed to help you understand your progress and select courses without having to wait for an appointment.
If you still have questions, please send your questions, SMU ID, and completed Calculator to eco@smu.edu. Department will answer your questions or arrange a meeting for you.
ECO Calculator Steps:
- Pull your DPR Summary by visiting the "Academics" tab in my.SMU.
- Open the Calculator and enter the corresponding numbers (from your own DPR Summary) in the yellow boxes. The other cells will auto populate and provide information about your progress.
- You do not need to edit any other boxes, but please by sure to complete the "Step 6: Create a Tentative Schedule for Next Semester" section. You will need to build a tentative schedule to the best of your ability. The "schedule help" resources in the other tabs (flowcharts, sample plans, etc.) may help you. CC guidance can be found in the last tab.
