Advising
In the College of Liberal Arts, you have the advantage of three
types of advisors: your major or departmental advisor, a specialty
advisor, and a College advisor.
College Advisors
Undergraduate Student Services can assist with issues that need
approval of the Dean or can refer you to the appropriate resources.
They act on behalf of the Dean and deal with academic affairs, college
and university requirements, and scholastic honors. Consult a college
advisor in for help with the following:
- Processing of requests for double majors and double degrees
- Graduation problems
- Petitions regarding college and university policies, procedures, and requirements
- Referrals to support services for personal or academic difficulties
- Rescheduling a final exam when you have three exams in a single day
- Scholastic probation
- Withdrawal from the University
-
Office hours: M-F 9-11 a.m. (by appointment only) or 1:15-3:30 p.m. (walk-ins).

Major or Departmental Advisors
Your departmental advisor will be the most help with your major.
They know the faculty, the contents of the department's courses, and
special opportunities offered by the department for undergraduates. The
advisor can help you put together a schedule for a degree plan that
meets your goals. Additionally, your departmental advisor can assist
you with the following:
- Selecting courses before you register each semester
- Declaring your minor field of study
- Changes of major
- Q-dropping a course
- Substituting courses transferred "by title" into your degree program
- Locating general information about career opportunities in your major
- Writing recommendations for awards, prospective employers, graduate and professional schools
