Declaring+and+Cancelling

=DECLARATION PROCESS=

The L&S Major declaration form is here: [|LSMAJORDECFORM.pdf]

Students are advised to: 1. Meet with the advisor for their anticipated area of concentration. If unsure of their area, they see the Undergraduate Affairs Chair 2. Complete the L&S Major Declaration form, and once the form has been signed by all, return it to the Undergraduate Coordinator 3. If declaring Honors in the Major, that form must be signed by the thesis advisor, stamped by the Undergraduate Coordinator, and then taken __in person__ to the L&S Honors Office.

Here is an example of how to fill out a dec form.

The important codes to remember are: 463 for Geography - 146 for Cartography/GIS HG=Human concentration - PE=People-environment - PG=Physical

**FOR STUDENTS OUTSIDE L&S:**
After the student declares with Geography, they need to take a copy of their Geography dec form to the undergrad affairs office of their “home” college (School of Business, Engineering, etc.) That will initiate the process of granting them permission to carry a major in L&S. NOTE: CALS majors now go through this procedure rather than starting at CALS.
 * A. If student is outside L&S (CALS, Business, Education, etc.) and wants to double-major:**


 * B.** **If student wants to transfer completely from your college into L&S:**
 * If they have 54 credits or more: they can go to the website for Undergrad Advising ( ** http://uas.ls.wisc.edu) **and find the "Academic Services" link to the form that will allow them to transfer online -- no transfer workshop needed. **


 * If they have less than 54 credits: they need to go to 70 Bascom Hall and sign up for the brief “Transfer Workshop” that will transfer them into L&S. Once they have completed the workshop, they should let the Undergrad Coordinator know that it's clear to submit their declaration form. It is recommended that they drop their other major(s) before this workshop, but not necessary. **

=**CHANGING CONCENTRATIONS**=

All they need is to go to the Undergrad Coordinator to get that changed in the database. There is currently no means to track concentrations at the Registrar level.

=**CANCELLATION PROCESS**=

Student needs to fill out same form, only with the "cancel major" box checked. Not necessary to meet with an advisor; Undergrad Coordinator will get those signatures.
