Academic Advising
If you are interested in the arts and sciences, you may choose from the various Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science programs which we offer. Students may choose to do a major or a general studies degree. You must declare your major or general studies degree at the Registrar’s Office before you register for your sixth unit of coursework. You may change your program at any time, with the approval of the appropriate department. Please refer to 2.2.11 Declaring a Major for specific procedures.
The Centre for Academic Advising and Student Success is located in the Seton Academic Centre, Room 303.
