Advising for Current Trojans

If you’re a current Trojan (either a continuing student or post-baccalaureate) and have been taking classes for at least one semester, you can locate your advisor in BOSS. Your assigned advisor is dependent on your declared major.

How to Change Your Major or Add a Major:
● Unless you are advised in TAASC, reach out to the department that houses the major you would like to declare
(using the table below) via your UALR email address. If you are advised in TAASC, simply reach out to your
current advisor for assistance in changing your major.
● The new department may be able to change your major over email or may need to talk with you before making
the change
● Clearly indicate to your new department whether you would like them to remove your old major when they add
the new major or simply add the new major and maintain the current major
● The new department should be able to update your major, which you can confirm in Boss or DegreeWorks

How to Change Your Minor or Add a Minor:
● Meet with your major advisor to add or change your minor
● Get advising from an advisor in the department of your minor
