Advising and registration for Summer/fall 2012

The department of Modern and classical Languages benefits students by having dedicated advisors. This means during your first two years while you are completing your core curriculum and making your way towards you upper division requirements, you will work with an advisor that will help you track through the various core classes that you must take before truly entering you major at the upper division.

Once you have completed the majority of your core curriculum and are beginning your progress through your initial upper division courses, you will then work with your upper division advisor who will guide through the most challenging and rewarding part of your learning experience within your chosen field of study.

Student Information/Majors/Minors/Double Majors

Majors

All majors in MCL are required to advise before registering for classes. Advising is necessary to insure your progress is on track. During the advising period, please contact the department to make an appointment to advise. In most cases your advisor will post a sign up sheet on their office door to sign up. If you need assistance to locate your advisor, or to find out who your advisor is, please contact the department.

Minors

Students who are minoring in a foreign language can attend group advising session during the advising period. Typically two to three sessions are held for students needing to advise, or who would like more information on taking a minor in MCL. The dates and times for the session are posted on the website during the advising period.

Double Majors

Majors in MCL who are also majoring in another area, are required to advise in both departments. It is necessary that both of your advisors in the two departments are able to work together to insure you are on track with both of your chosen areas of study. Working towards two degrees at the same time can be very challenging, and making sure you are on track with both degrees will be highly beneficial when you graduate. Please be aware that a checklist for graduation is required to be turned in with your application for graduation. If you have never advised in MCL, but are taking classes towards a degree, you will not have the requireed paperwork necessary to graduate. This may delay your graduation.
