Declare your major/minor and pick up your faculty advisor

Declare your major/minor

Now is the time to formally declare your major(s), minor(s), and pick a departmental faculty advisor. Your First Year Cohort (FYC) Advisor can assist with this process, and we highly recommend that you meet with them to discuss your future academic plans and goals.

We've created this easy online form for you to:

  • confirm or change your major;
  • confirm, add or remove a minor;
  • declare a pre-professional pathway such as pre-med or pre-law; and
  • be matched with a departmental faculty advisor.

Completing this process is extremely important to your long-term academic success.
