Before your appointment with an English Advisor:
- Declare your departmental concentration on the Registrar's Concentration Declaration page anytime between March 30 - April 17, 2023. Here is a link to Student Instructions to navigate DAPF.
- You may want to review your transcript against the English Department's Courses by Distribution Requirement page to see which distributions you have already completed; you may be farther along in your major than you thought! The Courses by Distribution Requirement can be found here.
- Questions regarding English major requirements/distributions? Schedule an individual appointment with the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Professor Russ Leo, via email ([email protected]), or contact the Undergraduate Administrator, Kelly Lake via email ([email protected]). Please email us in advance or review the department website for office hours.
- Schedule an appointment with a member of the English faculty advising team to review your DAPF, discuss your choice of ENG 300 seminar taken Fall 2023, and your academic plan. [Please email the advisor directly; their availability is listed below. Or you may drop in on Thursdays or Fridays at McCosh 22 (use entry #2) to meet with a faculty advisor to discuss your plans!]
During your appointment with an English Advisor:
- Make sure to have your DAPF plan available to share with the advisor if you're in person or to share via screen share if in a zoom meeting. English faculty advising team's schedule will be posted below. Appointments are scheduled in 15-minute increments on Eastern Standard Time (EST). [Link to the online scheduler will be updated by 3/6/23]
- English Majors are required to take one of three ENG 300 seminars that fulfills the Junior Seminar Departmental requirement in the fall of their junior year. This year, one of three ENG 300 seminars may fulfill this requirement. You may read more about these courses here (Link will be updated with AY 2023-2024 ENG 300 offerings by 3/13/2023). To balance seminar sizes, seminars are assigned in order of student's sharing their preference and having met with an English advisor by registering on the ENG 300 Seminar Request Form any time after you declare English as your major; you will receive the link to this form during your English advisor meeting. Once you have the link to the ENG 300 Seminar Request Form, you may rank your junior seminar preferences in order from first to last. If you have any questions about this process or the courses, email Kelly Lake ([email protected]) Students will receive their individual seminar assignments via email after 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 18, 2023.
After your appointment with your English Advisor:
- After you declare English as your major and have reviewed your previous English courses, make sure to complete your Department Academic Planning Form (DAPF) for Fall 2023 by April 10, 2023 no later than 12 noon and email copies of both plans to the DUS, Russ Leo ([email protected]) and cc the UA, Kelly Lake ([email protected]). (NOTE: When creating your DAPF, we recommend making at least two course schedules, one for your 1st ENG 300 seminar choice and one for your 2nd ENG 300 choice. Even though the system does not allow for two DAPFs, we recommend that you create your 2nd/alternative course schedule and email both schedules to the DUS. In past years, students typically have been assigned to either their first or second choice but in certain circumstances, the third choice has been assigned.)
- The Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) will email you with any questions; if you do not hear back, assume that your schedule has been approved.
- Register in TigerHub for Fall 2023 courses on Wednesday, April 19, 2023.
If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact the Undergraduate Administrator: [email protected]
