Change of Major Drop-In Advising

University Advising and Exploratory Studies provides drop-in advising for students who are exploring or changing undergraduate majors at NC State, outside of their current college. Cross-curricular advisors help students evaluate potential majors, navigate the on-campus change of major process (CODA), and plan appropriate coursework as students transition between majors.

Complete this Thinking About Changing Your Major workbook prior to your Change of Major Drop-In Advising visit. This workbook contains worksheets designed to help you explore NC State majors, learn about the CODA process, and prepare for registration. Bring the completed worksheets to your Drop-In visit for a more productive advising session.

Please check-in at least 15 minutes prior to the end of drop-in hours. 

To minimize wait times, advising sessions may be limited to 20 minutes per student.

Students MUST be checked in to meet with an advisor. See below for directions.
