Drop/Add and Enrollment Checklist:
As you may already know, only a limited number of sophomores have already declared a major (e.g. CSS, COL, CEAS). The majority of current sophomores are expected to use the time between Feb 6 and mid-March to request (via WesPortal) a major. The rationale for the major declaration requirement is firmly rooted in our efforts to guide and support your progress toward graduation in 2022. Please note that whatever major you activate during this period does not permanently commit you to that particular academic home at Wesleyan or to a particular future career. There is still time to continue your academic and personal self-exploration at Wes after declaring a particular major and some students will still need to complete department specific prerequisites before formal acceptance into their intended major. Sophomores who require additional time to complete prerequisites for acceptance into a major, should complete the Major Deferral Form and schedule a meeting with me during the month of February. Students interested in majoring in psychology who entered Wesleyan as first-semester freshmen, are required to apply for the major during their Wesleyan forth semester (generally, spring semester of sophomore year). Additional information about the Psych Major declaration is available at https://www.wesleyan.edu/studentaffairs/resources/majordeclaration/index.html Class Dean Communication:
