The START Office is assigned to most students as their academic advisor prior to the student's first term of enrollment. Once a student has started taking courses with CSC, a faculty advisor is assigned, based on the student's degree program, before Advising Month in October and February.
If you have recently changed your major, a new advisor will be assigned to you by the Department Chair once your major change has been processed officially through the Records Office.
If you would like to request a specific advisor OR change your current advisor, please contact the START Office for assistance at start@jdzruiran.com.
Major/Minor Changes
Students looking to declare or change their major or minor should visit with a START advisor. If you are not able to visit START in person, email us at start@jdzruiran.com
