CAS Academic Advising

Upon entering CAS, all students who have declared a major will receive primary advisement from their major department(s), in addition to a CAS academic advisor.  All students in or entering CAS must declare a major prior to their Junior year, unless they are on probation during thier transition. In addition, all students entering CAS must complete the degree requirements (found on this degree progress worksheet and listed below). 

Degree Requirements for CAS Students:

  1. Total Credits - Completion of 128 credits, of which 64 credits must be completed in the College (courses prefixed with "UA").  
  2. Grade Point Average (GPA) - A final minimum grade point average of 2.00, both cumulative and in the major is required for graduation.
  3. Major - Students must complete a major offered through the College of Arts and Science. Please refer to the CAS Majors/Minors page for majors offered at CAS and utilize the CAS Major Declaration Processes spreadsheet.
