What requires an advising appointment?

If you are a student in the College of Arts and Sciences, please schedule an appointment to do the following:

• If you are interested in pursuing a CJUS major or minor
• If you want to officially declare your CJUS major
• If you have questions about your degree or CJUS major requirements and your progress, that require a review of your Academic Advisement Report by an advisor in order to answer the questions
• If you are interested in any of the following:  Departmental Honors (P399 and P499), the National Criminal Justice Honor Society (Alpha Phi Sigma), Internship requirements (P481), Individual Readings and Projects (P495)

Please note:  you do not need to meet with an advisor to declare your CJUS minor if you are currently a College of Arts and Sciences student 

• Please email Andrea Gitelson acgitels@indiana.edu with your name and student ID# to have your minor declared.  A follow up email will be sent to you confirming the courses that count towards your minor and any that you may still need to take.  

If you are a student whose major is not in the College of Arts and Sciences, please schedule an appointment to do the following:

• If you are interested in pursuing a CJUS major, minor or certificate
• If you want to officially declare your CJUS major or minor (when you meet with a CJUS advisor to declare your minor, please have the name of the person who needs to receive an email confirming the CJUS minor requirements, or the form that your school uses to declare minors, available at the time of the meeting).
• To declare a certificate in CJUS, you will need to wait until you have completed the last class for the certificate requirements to have this declared.  Please contact Andrea Gitelson at acgitels@indiana.edu once you have completed your certificate requirements, so this can be processed.
• If you have questions about your CJUS major and or COLL requirements (if applicable) and progress, that require a review of your Academic Advisement Report by an advisor in order to answer the questions
• If you are interested in any of the following:  Departmental Honors (P399 and P499), the National Criminal Justice Honor Society (Alpha Phi Sigma), Internship requirements (P481), Individual Readings and Projects (P495)

 

To all current and prospective CJUS students:  If you have questions about additional resources on campus, career and volunteer opportunities, or anything else related to your academic and professional experiences here at IUB as a CJUS student, please feel free to schedule an appointment to discuss your questions.
