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

CHEMISTRY & FERMENTATION SCIENCES MAJORS

Schedule your Required Science Advising:

  1. Complete this Google form: CFS Required Science Advising Spring 2027.
  2. Check the email you receive from the CFS Department to see who your assigned faculty advisor is.
  3. YOU must email that faculty advisor directly to make an appointment.

If you do not hear from the CFS Dept. within three business days of submitting the Google Form above, email chemschedule@appstate.edu.

PHYSICS AND PRE-ENGINEERING MAJORS:

  1. Complete the Google form emailed to you by Dr. Brooke Hester, Dr. Madeline Hinckle, or Dr. Nirmal Nischal. 
  2. Once you complete the form, that same professor will send you an email with departmental advising information. 
  3. After you receive this advising email, you are welcome (but not required) to request an advising meeting with the professor.

If you do not receive an email with the form, contact Dr. Hester at 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 will help the student get the permits they need to get into these classes. If you haven't received an email from a GES faculty advisor by October 19th, please email the GES chairperson, Dr. Cynthia Liutkus at liutkuscm@appstate.edu.
