AAPS Change of Major Drop-In Advising

Academic Advising Programs and Services (AAPS) 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 AAPS 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.
