All students in L&S are assigned to an advising service (i.e., Academic Advising Services (AAS), Center for Academic Excellence (CAE), Cross-College Advising Services (CCAS), L&S Honors Program) in their semester at UW-Madison. A student’s advisor assignment is based on what is known about an individual student’s academic plans at SOAR. Some students are assigned an advisor based on their participation in a specific program. Most students are assigned to an advising service until they are eligible to declare their major.
The following information is for students who are being advised by L&S Academic Advising Services (for students who have not yet declared their intended major in L&S):
