Academic Pathways Advising

We help students create an action plan for declaring a major by the end of the sophomore year (90 credits). For transfer students who enter with 90 credits, we create an individualized plan to make a sound and timely decision.

Recognize where students are in their major declaration process and provide them with the best resources appropriate to their pathway.

We also help students process and interpret this information.

Encourage students in defining their goals by exploring their personal strengths, interests, and values and assessing how they relate to an overall education and career path.

Depending on your unique pathway to declaring a major, you may explore various fields of study, learn the specific requirements necessary to declare your chosen major, and explore co-curricular opportunities that can apply to your interests. 

The Program Evaluation is a powerful tool for selecting courses. You will meet with your advisor to review your progress on your academic plans, course selection and major selection, and consider academic opportunities available to you.

You will prepare for registration each quarter in consultation with your advisor. Advisors can help you address common registration issues, understand registration restrictions, and assist with long-term planning.

You will evaluate your past academic performance and discover the skills and resources necessary to achieve your educational goals. Advisors can connect you with academic and specialized campus services and will work with you if you are on academic warning or probation.

Talk with your advisor about opportunities for education abroad. Once you have been accepted to a program, you will work with your advisor to identify potential course selections to continue your academic progress while abroad.

You will learn about university policies and procedures that inform your academic progress. Your advisor is available to answer questions, sign and process forms, and guide you through complex decisions on your path to a degree.
