Sophomore Advising

After the first-year, sophomores will continue to work with their first-year advisors, as they explore the curriculum and hone in on an academic concentration. They will naturally want to seek out concentration advisors in individual departments for information about specific concentration degree requirements. And they are also encouraged to become involved in a departmental undergraduate group (DUG), in order to gain a student perspective on a concentration that interests them. All sophomores must file a formal petition and plan for their chosen concentration before they are allowed to pre-register for classes in their fifth semester. For more information about our sophomore advising programs, please contact Dean Stephen Lassonde.
