Advisement Sessions/Change of Majors

Wow! It's been a while since I have updated last. College has become so hectic with homework, assignments and keeping up with reading. Things have started to get tough, and extremely tiring! The workload sometimes is more than I can handle =/

However, Spring Registration has started for those who have attended an advisement session (how time flies!). So as a reminder to all freshman, there is a block on all accounts and you will not be able to register for classes unless you attend a session. The benefit of sitting and going through with this hour and 50 minute session? Get first dibs on the classes you want at the times you want before registration opens up for the entire college on November 9th (no more complaining!). You can set up an appointment at the Advisement Office in the lobby of the N building. The sessions help to clear up a lot of questions about what classes to take next or required courses you need in order to graduate.

In the past week, I have been trying to figure out how to change my major from criminal justice to forensic psychology. After many failed attempts of standing in the long lines at One Stop or online, I was told that as an entering freshman majors can not be changed until grades come in December! Why? No idea! haha. However, if you are thinking about changing majors and want to go see an overview of classes you would be required to take you can refer to the Degree Audit on CUNY Portal. Its extremely helpful!! All you need to do is log onto http://www.cuny.edu/, log into the CUNY Portal and when the homepage opens up click on "Student Advisment/DegreeAudit (DegreeWorks)". You can view your current degree process by clicking on "View Audit" or if you would like to see what classes would be needed for different majors you can do that by clicking the "What if" button. And I say this again-its so simple and so helpful in helping you understand your degree process!

Well, until next time with some more helpful advice :)

Take care,
