Step One

• Be sure that you have officially declared as an English Major (or English-Creative Writing, or English—Secondary Education). Please do not skip this step. A lot of students think they are officially declared, and they are not. To check your status, go to BOSS: https://boss.ualr.edu/pls/prod/twbkwbis.P_WWWLogin
• Click “Continue” at the bottom of the screen
• Click on “Student Services”
• Click on “Student Request Menu”
• Click on “Declare Major/Minor”
• Be sure you have a major and minor, and they are correct

Step Two

• After you have checked the accuracy of your Major, go to this page and download the appropriate requirements checklist (PDF): http://ualr.edu/ba/engl/index.php/home/advising/
• If you are unsure about what you have taken and been given credit for, go to BOSS and check your transcript:

• Check the class schedule: https://boss.ualr.edu/DirClasses.htm

Step Three

• Now complete the form below, based on what you have already successfully completed, and what you still need to take. Check your Department and Course Numbers, and times, for accuracy. A small mistake can create big problems.
