How do I change my major?

Spring is coming!!!! REALLLY.



This question has come up a lot lately. How do I change my major? If you are undecided, you will still need to fill out a change of major form to declare a program.

To change your major you need to:

1. Pick up a change of major form at the front desk of the Advisement Center Office - 11 Bowman Hall


2. Print out an unofficial copy of your transcript from Access Stout to attache to the form


3. Many programs have additional requirements - i.e., statement of goals or 2.0 or 2.5 GPA.


4. Return the above materials to the front desk. Your application will be submitted to the department and you will get an e-mail within 10 days on the results.
   

Also, students are asking about registration for summer.

1. Check out summer courses on open course listings on Access Stout.


2. You should have received an e-mail advising you when you can register according to your credits.


3. Registration begins on February 25th, so your date will be based on the number of credits you have (the more credits, the sooner you register)

What classes am I supposed to take??

You should start thinking about what courses you will need to take Fall 2008. How do you know? The link below will give you a list of programs at UW-Stout. Click on your major, then click on "program plans". If your program offers a "four semester sequence", click on that and review the suggested sequence of courses.

You can also check to see how many credits and courses you still have left to take.

Career decisions

I've been reading a book by Penelope Trunk called "The Brazen Careerist". She states that the new generation will probably have 10 jobs by the time they are 28. Do you agree with this? What kind of implications does this have for making career choices?

This generation does not take a job with the intent of staying for 30 years. They see each job as a rung on a ladder to bigger and better things. If you look at career exploration this way, it is not unreasonble, then to be unsure about your job/career choices when you are young. It is normal. She says most students don't settle their choices about their future until they are around 25. If you are younger than 25, it is normal not to know!!!!

A new job every week???

I firmly believe that getting out into the work world is the best way to make career choices. Here's a video of a guy who took it to an extreme. He tried a new job every week for a year.

Greetings 2 you!

Welcome!

I've set up this blog to assist Transfer students in communicating with each other and with Transfer Student Services.

If you have a question, I will post it so all can see the answer. If you want to chat, we can do that too. How are your classes going?

Here is a link to online information of interest to transfer students:

Try Career Exploration. You can set up an individual appointment to see me or go to http://www.uwstout.edu/advisement/career
