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 students 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
