It's time to start thinking about the courses you will be taking next semester.

Requirements for a major or minor for Physics and Astronomy students

To answer questions about Major or Minor requirements from any department in the College of Arts and Sciences or other needs for an enrolled student go to the following web site: Arts and Science Information

PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY MAJOR'S HANDBOOK

You may pick up a copy of the most recent copy of the major's handbook in CAP 231 or access it here.

ADVISING FOR - BS APPLIED PHYSICS

Make an appointment with your advisor to keep on track for your major. If you are in the BS Applied Physics Concentration and are a rising junior, then you should talk with your advisor about having a meeting with your curriculum committee to plan for your last two years of courses. You may have this meeting earlier if you have definitely decided on your concentration.

ADVISING FOR - BA AND BS TEACHING

Persons interested in enrolling in other curricula should also see their advisor no later than the end of their sophomore year. It is best to have these curricular meetings as early as possible, so that you may complete the curriculum in four years.

SENIOR CHECK

If you are a senior, make sure to have your senior check. You can schedule this with the Student Services Division of the Dean of Arts and Sciences (Room 100 I G Greer).
