Declaring/Changing Your Advisor or Major

All undergraduate students are assigned an academic advisor upon admission. If a major area of interest has been indicated on the admissions application, the student’s major will be indicated in the system. First year students enrolled in BAC/HON 101/102 are initially advised by a professional academic advisor in the Academic Success Center and will be reassigned to a faculty advisor related to their major discipline upon completion of BAC/HON coursework. Students enrolled in BAC 103/104 are initially advised by the instructors of those classes, and will be reassigned to a faculty advisor related to their major discipline upon completion of BAC coursework. Students enrolled through Continuing Studies are advised by staff advisors there. Students who want to request a change of academic advisor or change/declare a major may do so by filling out a change request either by stopping by the Academic Success Center, North Walker Hall, or by obtaining the form from Spartan Web under the Academics/Forms and Information tab. Students must officially declare a major by the time they have earned 60 credit hours.
