of the university.
We can assist you in undeclared

upon your major, assist with general
academic problem-solving, and give
appropriate referrals. You may call
on us for initial advice regarding
special majors. We are also available
to explain university policies and
procedures.
Undeclared Major Advising
We advise undeclared majors until
a major is declared. We can suggest
faculty contacts in the academic de-partments
who will be of help to you.
Also, experienced career counselors
are available in the Career Services of-fice.
There you will be assisted on an
individual basis with the appropriate
use of vocational testing.
We offer a one-hour workshop,
COMPASS (Combining Opportuni-ties
to Meet Personal, Academic, and
Student Success), designed for the
student who has not declared a major
or who is considering a major change.
Further information is available in

to ensure smooth transition into
the university.

first semester. Certain provisions and
regulations must be met.
