Soon after you register for Preview, the Registrar will create a fall semester schedule for you. This is a draft course schedule, and you'll be able to make changes to and finalize this schedule of fall classes at Preview!

Speaking of Preview, you indicated your major of interest on your admission application and your Preview registration form, but did you know that this is not actually a declaration of a major? We use this information to help us cater the information sent to you via email, as well as at Preview and Fall Orientation. Students officially declare a major after their first semester at Mount Union. While you won't complete any official forms until your second semester, you can still take classes in your intended major (with the exception of education majors, who will start their first education class their second semester). The declaration of major and minor forms are online, and your First Year Seminar instructor will help you find and complete these forms.

Your First Year Seminar instructor will also be your academic advisor as you schedule classes for your second semester at Mount Union, and he or she will remain your academic advisor until you declare your major. Once you've declared a major, you will be assigned a new advisor in the academic department in which your major is housed, and you could begin planning the rest of your course schedule with that new advisor as early as Spring Semester 2017.

In addition to the help your faculty advisor will be able to provide you, there are many additional resources on campus that can help you as you determine a major. In fact, the Office of Students in Academic Transition is specifically designed to help students who are still considering which major they would like to pursue or who would like to change their major. Coordinator of students in academic transition Marci Muckleroy often meets one-on-one with students in order to help them decide which major, minor or career they would like to explore. For more information, email Marci Muckleroy, call the Center for Student Success at (330) 823-8685 or visit the website.
 
So even if you haven't decided on a major quite yet, there is plenty of time to learn all about them on our website! You can also spend some time looking at what possible professions you might pursue with a degree from Mount Union.
