Computer Information Systems Department Earns ABET Accreditation
Metro State’s Computer Information Systems (CIS) program has
become one of the first of only a small number of CIS programs in
the country to have earned accreditation from ABET, the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology. CIS joins the College’s
computer science and three engineering technology programs (civil,
electrical and mechanical) as ABET-accredited programs.
“It was a team effort,” said Department Chair Abel
Moreno. “All 16 of the department’s full-time faculty
participated in varying degrees.”
ABET is composed of four accreditation commissions: applied science,
computer, engineering and technology. It began accrediting information
systems programs in 2002-03. As of October 2006, only 20 of an estimated
1,000 or more programs in the United States had earned accreditation.
The University of Nebraska at Omaha is the only other institution
in the western U.S. with ABET accreditation.

Notice
of 60 Credit Hour Advising Hold
Attention: All Students
Majoring in Business B. S. Programs
ACC, CIS, FIN, MGT, and MKT
The School of Business wants to help each student
obtain a Bachelor degree in a timely and effective manner. Each
semester every student that is about to complete 60 Credit Hours
is required to receive advising from the department of his or her
academic major. The primary focus of this advising session will
be to review your Curriculum, Advising, and Program Planning (CAPP)
Compliance Report for your major.
Are you required to see an advisor before registering
for the Summer or Fall terms?
• If you have completed less then 60 credit
hours and the courses you are now taking will put your total credit
hours at 60 or more, then you must see an advisor in your major
department before you can register for Summer or Fall classes. However,
if you have already received thorough advising from a faculty member
and are fully aware of the degree requirements, you may request
an advising waiver by completing an official form available in your
major department.
• If you have already completed
60 credit hours or more hours before the Spring term, you are not
required to seek advising before registration. However, it is highly
recommended that you see your major advisor at least once each academic
year during your junior and senior years.
If this policy applies to you, a notice of the advising
hold will appear in your registration permit for the term. After
you have been advised or completed the advising waiver request form,
the advising hold will be removed.
