FRESHMAN REGISTRATION AND FAMILY ORIENTATION

I’m not ready to declare a major. Is that OK?

Yes! Absolutely! If you complete a thorough exploration and decision-making process during your first year in college, starting out as an exploratory major will increase the probability that you will make a good choice of major. If you make this decision after you signed up for a FR&FO day, call 608-785-8939 to make the change. By informing the Admissions Office of your decision before arriving at FR&FA, the paperwork you receive when you arrive will be accurate. You will meet with an advisor that works specifically with exploring undecided students who will help you request a schedule that allows you flexibility in choosing your major later on in your academic career.

Undecided students in the College of Liberal Studies and the College of Science and Health will be assigned a professional advisor in the Academic Advising Center for the fall semester. These advisors work specifically with undecided students to explore majors and careers.
