Slavic Department Advising
Students are encouraged to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor in the Slavic department if they would like to learn more about the Russian and Polish majors, or the minors in Russian, Polish, Czech, Ukrainian, BCS, or East European and Eurasian Studies. Advisors are able to counsel students about planning a major or minor, how the Slavic department's curriculum relates to other disciplines on campus, graduate school prospects, and/or career choices and the skill sets they involve.
Students are required to meet with an advisor in order to:
- Elect a major or minor;
- Develop or modify a plan for the completion of a program;
- Complete an audit and receive a release prior to graduation.
You may schedule an appointment with our advisors via our appointment scheduling page or you may email our undergraduate advisors to arrange an appointment.
*Spring and Summer terms: Please email our undergraduate advisors to arrange an appointment.
