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 advising@appstate.edu 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).
