Undergraduate Advising

Working with your advisor and using the forms linked to this page, you can measure how far you've progressed on your undergraduate degree path in English.

You should download and complete the appropriate "Major Option Form." Completing the appropriate "Major Option Form" can help you understand the university's graduation requirements and how they relate to you.

Be that as it may, we do recommend that you make an appointment to meet with your advisor to verify that the information on your form — and your understanding of it — is correct and complete.

If you don't know who your advisor is, you should attempt to locate your advisor on COIN. If you can't locate your advisor on Coin or haven't been assigned one, you should contact the current Director of Advising. Contact information for the Director of Advising is located in the "Contact Info" area at the bottom of each department webpage.

The Forms

Print 2 copies of the form for your Major Option. Then, prior to meeting with your advisor, fill in as much of the form as you can.

Major Option forms:

• Writing/Communications Option (pdf)
• Literature Option (pdf)

Printing and filling in these forms before you meet with your advisor will save both you and your advisor time. Your completed forms will serve to guide you when you make your academic and career choices.

Don't worry if you don't have all the answers. And remember that there are exceptions to the rules.

You may find that you need your advisor's help to complete your evaluation accurately, especially if you are a transfer student. Make an appointment with your advisor early, so you have plenty of time to go over your requirements and discuss your options before you need to register for classes.

Meeting with your advisor regularly will help ensure that you've completed the courses you need to complete in order to graduate. So, don't wait. Schedule a meeting with your advisor today.
