Developing a Plan to Change Your Major – Workshop hosted by AAS
Friday, January 8th, 1:30 – 2:30pm. Bostian 2725.
Do you have a good idea of a new intended major, outside of your current college, but need help developing an exact plan? (i.e. Review your classes for which you’ve registered for the upcoming Spring 2016 semester toward your new intended major. When/ how do you apply for admission into your new intended major via CODA?) Bring your laptop to this hands-on session that will help you develop a “Matriculation Plan” and review the process of applying to your new intended major.
Also, check the Forum Calendar for other upcoming workshops!
Not just for “new” students – all events are open to ALL students! We hope to see you at the LSFY Hot Chocolate event on January 5th, 3:30 – 5:00pm in David Clark Labs. See the full Welcome Week Schedule here.

“My summer working as an Orientation Leader turned out to be the most life changing couple of months I’ve ever experienced. Being the new students’ first connection to NC State was an honor that I wish I could continue every summer!”
