Some General AdviceYour PIN for registering through PackTracks comes from your CALS adviser. Jefferson Scholars may register early.During your first 2 years, before you have declared your CHASS major, you need to ensure that any Humanities & Social Sciences courses you take also meet the CHASS degree requirements. These are listed in your copy of the CHASS "Key Points of Information" advising handbook that you will get during Orientation. You should keep your own copy because your graduation requirements are fixed at your date of entering NC State. It will also help your CALS adviser in planning appropriate courses for the CHASS general requirements. Dr. Kimler also will be happy to assist you in picking courses. Some special advice for first-year Jeffersons:
You must declare a major in CHASS by the end of your second year. Go to the CHASS Dean's Office and tell the receptionist you're a Jefferson Scholar and need to get approval for a major in CHASS. After that, you'll get an adviser in the Department of your major. It's a good idea to declare the major as soon as you are sure of your choice. If you decide to design your own Interdisciplinary Studies Self-Designed
Degree Program (BA
or BS
degree), Sandy Stallings Even after declaring your CHASS major, you will continue to get your PIN through your CALS major adviser. Of course, you need to meet with your CHASS major adviser before registration, to keep on schedule to complete those requirements. It is your responsibility to let Dr. Kimler know when you will wish to do the independent study for the Jefferson senior paper, either in Fall or Spring of your last year. In general, it is a good idea to keep the advisors well-advised of your plans, your schedule for graduating, and any problems or special needs you have. Dr. Kimler and Dr. Beckmann are available at any time for advice on majors, courses, and problems you're encountering in the program.
