Getting guidance on course selection

It is important that you make informed decisions about which courses to take each semester. Mistakes can cost you a semester or even a year delay in graduating. Please study the information found on this site carefully, and don't hesitate to seek advice if you are ever uncertain about what to do. Here are some resources for getting academic advice.

  • SEAS Office of Academic Affairs

    For questions not specific to CBE such as transferring courses, general education requirements, or checking your official records, contact the SEAS Office of Undergraduate Education.
