This site contains the Advising Handbook of the School of Arts and Sciences. This is a guide to the regulations and procedures governing academic progress. It contains:
- detailed explanation of degree requirements and academic policies governing B.A. and B.S. degrees;
- practical guidance on how to submit forms and requests for a variety of academic purposes;
- links to departmental sites for information on major programs; and
- general information on minor programs.
This handbook does not take the place of an academic adviser, but rather is a means to make your contacts with an adviser more efficient. (See "Making Choices" and "Academic Advising".) Nor is this handbook intended to be all-inclusive, or to replace the official publications of the University. In case of conflicts, the official publications, such as the current edition of the Announcements: Undergraduate Studies (the "Catalog") and the Student Handbook, govern.
