Major Advising
The various academic departments
do advising in specific requirements
for a major, minor, or teaching
credential. You should meet with
your faculty adviser at least once each
semester before registering for classes.
Depending on your major
department’s procedures, you will
have a faculty adviser assigned to you
or selected by you. A close working
relationship with your major adviser
and other department faculty can
help you determine your program and
choose appropriate experiences related
to your academic and career goals.
However, the ultimate responsibility
for knowing and meeting all gradua-tion
requirements is yours. Therefore,
we recommend that you check each
semester’s grades and your evaluation
or DARS (Degree Audit Reporting
System) report for correctness. (See
Baccalaureate Degree Requirements.)
Special Major Advising
If you are an undergraduate student
interested in designing a special
major, you initiate the process with
an appointment in our office to
receive appropriate information and
to obtain an application form. A

Advising Services
The Office of Advising Services
provides a variety of services designed
to help you achieve your educational
goals and effectively use the resources
of the university.
We can assist you in undeclared
major advising, General Education
advising, and academic petition
procedures. We can also help you
decide upon your major, assist you
with general academic problem-solving,
and give you 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
departments who will be of help to
you. Also, experienced vocational
counselors are available in the Career
Services office, where you will be
assisted on an individual basis with
the appropriate use of vocational
testing.
We encourage freshmen, especially
undeclared majors, to enroll in
University 1 (Introduction to the
University) to ensure smooth
transition into the university.
General Education Advising
We provide General Education
advising if you are not in a special-ized
program or major (e.g., Business
Administration, Educational
Opportunity Program [EOP],
Engineering and Computer Science,
Liberal Studies). If you are an
incoming student, we will help you
plan a schedule that incorporates
G.E. with major and elective
coursework as appropriate. If you are
a continuing student, we can help
you make sure you are taking correct
G.E. classes.
