Exploratory or Undeclared Students

Exploratory or undeclared students are the primary population served by the Academic Advising and Transfer Center. The AAC has a specific undeclared/exploratory student website with additional information for these students.
Career Center

The Career Center offers career counseling, assessments, career development courses, job shadowing, and research to assist students in selecting a major.
Other factors to consider
- Once an undergraduate exploratory student has completed 75 credits, the student will have a DG hold (75-89 credits) or DX hold (90+ credits) placed on their record to prevent future registration. This is not intended as a punitive action. Rather, this is to encourage the student to select a major so the student can stay on track toward completion of a degree. For more information about this, a student can visit the Degree Program section of the undergraduate catalog.
