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:

1. detailed explanation of degree requirements and academic policies governing B.A. and B.S. degrees;
2. practical guidance on how to submit forms and requests for a variety of academic purposes;
3. links to departmental sites for information on major programs; and
4. 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.
