You probably indicated a possible major when you applied to UIS. That major discipline shows on your unofficial record (DARS for students). At the point when you determine that you are sure you want to major in that or another discipline, you must formally declare your major choice. Your UAAC advisor will provide you with the Declaration of Major form that must be completed, signed and submitted to the Registrar's office for recording. Once your major choice is officially recorded, your major program will be notified and you will be assigned a faculty advisor in that program. Your UAAC academic advisor will facilitate this transition by letting your faculty advisor know which General Education and major pre-requisite and core courses you have already completed. Your faculty advisor will continue to guide you through your collegiate career and graduation.
All UIS student must have an officially recorded major choice by the time they complete 72 credits hours. Schedule a meeting with the UAAC academic advisor for assistance choosing a major. The Career Development Center also has resources including assessment and aptitude inventories to enhance your exploration.
