Meet with your new academic advisor

If you are changing to Exploring, an advisor will be selected for you by Eric Anderson, Director of Career Development. He’ll help you connect with your new advisor.

If you are changing to any other major, make an appointment with your new advisor so that you can get acquainted and oriented within your new major.
