Academic Advising
UNC at Chapel Hill currently works with a two-tier advising system. First, students have departmental advisers from whom they receive assistance in selecting courses to satisfy their major requirements. In addition, students are assigned to an advising team in the Academic Advising Programs in the General College and the College of Arts and Sciences (Steele Building). You should meet with one of these advisers in the Steele Building at least once a year to make sure you are on track to graduate.
If you are trying to decide what classes to register for, check out the Tarheel Tracker program in Connect Carolina. The Tarheel Tracker gives you personally customized information on what general education and sociology requirements you have and have not fulfilled, how transfer credits count toward requirements, etc. The Tarheel Tracker is a great tool to use before your advising session.
Sociology Department Advising
