We believe that academic advising is an important aspect of students’ ability to meet the requirements for the major. Our advising sessions will be held weekly or bi-weekly, during which time student will be given input and guidance on how to declare a major, complete the requirements, plan their curriculum, interpret DARS, etc.

A CS&D advisor can help with:

• Curricular planning and course access
• DARS interpretation
• Declaration of the major for L&S students
• Documentation of study-abroad plans
• Identification, interpretation and application of most academic policies
• Major and degree requirements
• Exploration of interests in independent study and research
• Understanding the differences between paths to the major
• Exploring ways for you to prepare for Graduate School

School of Education prospective majors should also meet early and often with an academic advisor in Education Academic Services (EAS). Dual advising by the department and EAS is strongly recommended for students who choose the School of Education path.
