1. Is there a specific time frame in which students are required to declare a major in your department? If yes, when?

NO.

2. Does the Undergraduate Adviser (staff) sign the Education Abroad Program academic planning form, or must a faculty adviser (professor) sign?

I SIGN IT; WE DON’T HAVE FACULTY ADVISORS ASSIGNED TO STUDENTS.

3. Should we advise students to make an appointment to have their academic planning form signed in your department? If so, do they need to bring a transcript or any other supplemental materials with them to their appointment?

THEY SHOULD COME TO OFFICE HOURS, MONDAY - FRIDAY 9-12 AND 1-4. THEY DON'T NEED A TRANSCRIPT.

4. What is the maximum amount of major credit given for courses taken during the education abroad program? Is this maximum calculated by number of courses or by units of credit? Please explain.

THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF COURSES IS 4; WE DON’T NECESSARILY COUNT UNITS.

THEY LOOK AT THE ON-LINE SCHEDULE, SEND ME A MESSAGE WHAT THEY PLAN TO TAKE AND I SEND THEM THE ADVISOR CODE. (THIS IS ALSO EXPLAINED ON THE HAND-OUT.)
