Required Science Advising for CFS & PHY Majors
The following departments have Required Science Advising for their intended majors: Chemistry & Fermentation Sciences (CFS) and Physics & Astronomy (PHY). Required Science Advising allows you to build connections with faculty in your department and ensure that you are on track with your major coursework. Watch your App State email for a reminder from UC Advising about how to complete Required Science Advising.
Once you have completed your Required Science Advising AND your UC Required Advising, you can find your PIN for registration in the Notes section at the bottom of your DegreeWorks worksheet. IF you don't see it in the DegreeWorks notes within 48 hours or your registration time is imminent, contact UC Academic Advising at advising@appstate.edu or 828-262-2167 (M-F, 8 am - 5 pm).
How to Complete Required Science Advising

The student MUST fill out this CFS Required Science Advising for Fall 2025 Google Form.
The Chemistry Department will assign the you a faculty advisor and you MUST contact that advisor directly to make an appointment to complete their Required Science Advising. If you do not hear from the CFS Department within 2 business days of submitting the Google form, you should email chemschedule@appstate.edu.
UC Advising will send a weekly reminder email to intended Chemistry and Fermentation Sciences majors until they complete this requirement or the semester ends, whichever comes first.
PHYSICS AND PRE-ENGINEERING MAJORS:
The Physics & Astronomy Department will be doing science advising for physics and pre-engineering majors by email. Intended physics and pre-engineering majors MUST respond to the email they will receive from Dr. Brooke Hester in March. Please see that email for more information. Questions? Contact Dr. Brooke Hester, hesterbc@appstate.edu.
GEOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE MAJORS:
The GES Dept. does NOT do Required Science Advising.
HOWEVER, intended GES majors who need to take GES 2750/2751/2752 in the next semester should watch for an email from a GES faculty advisor explaining how to make an appointment. During this appointment, the GES faculty advisor who will help you get the permits they need to get into these classes.
