Will I receive academic advising at orientation?

How do I change my major?

This depends on whether a student has already met with an academic advisor for their new student advising appointments.

• If they have completed this step, then students should contact an advisor in the college of their intended new major.
• If students have not yet attended their new student advising appointment, they should contact the Transfer Student Services Advising Coordinator by emailing transfer@fredrimonta.com . This staff member is also available to talk to students who have not yet declared a major to explore options.
