<strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> Liberal Arts and Wolf Pack Advising<br />
Welcome to the <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> Liberal Arts and the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nevada</strong>, <strong>Reno</strong>. We are<br />
excited to have you join the Wolf Pack! We look forward to working with you as you<br />
begin to choose your classes for your first semester at the university.<br />
Academic advising is mandatory for all incoming freshmen. We encourage you to<br />
engage in conversation with your academic advisor to determine the coursework<br />
appropriate for your degree program. This handbook provides suggestions from our<br />
faculty in each department regarding the courses in which you should enroll during<br />
your first two semesters at UNR. An advising hold has been placed on your record,<br />
which will be removed after you have met with an advisor. You will then register for<br />
your classes, beginning at a designated day and time, which is listed in the university<br />
Class Schedule at http://www.ss.unr.edu/records/sched.asp.<br />
Math and English placement is extremely important. Please carefully review your<br />
ACT/SAT scores to determine the proper course in which you should enrolled. We<br />
also encourage you to make a habit <strong>of</strong> reading the course description for each course<br />
you are interested in pursuing, before you enroll in the course. This information is<br />
found in the General Catalog available on-line at<br />
http://www.ss.unr.edu/records/catalog.asp. The course description will also list any<br />
prerequisites that you need to complete before enrolling in a particular course. Be sure<br />
to carefully read through your Wolf Wisdom Info-Pack! As you read this handbook,<br />
you will be instructed to refer back to specific pages in the Wolf Wisdom Info-Pack<br />
for more information.<br />
You have many resources available to you in the <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> Liberal Arts. You will be<br />
assigned an academic advisor in your major area <strong>of</strong> study. Most <strong>of</strong> our programs also<br />
require a minor area <strong>of</strong> study. You will have an additional advisor to discuss your<br />
coursework in pursuit <strong>of</strong> your minor. In addition, the Dean’s <strong>of</strong>fice in the <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
Liberal Arts also houses two full-time advisors to assist you regarding all aspects <strong>of</strong><br />
academic advising. To contact an advisor in the Dean’s <strong>of</strong>fice please call (775)784-<br />
6155 or send us an e-mail at clahelp@unr.nevada.edu. We highly recommend you<br />
meet with your academic advisor at least once a semester. We also encourage you to<br />
subscribe to our <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> Liberal Arts e-newsletter. This newsletter will provide you<br />
with timely information regarding registration, advising updates, and scholarship<br />
information. We also post a number <strong>of</strong> events that the <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> Liberal Arts and the<br />
School <strong>of</strong> the Arts host throughout the year, as well as campus-wide events. If you<br />
would like to subscribe, please send us an e-mail at the address above.<br />
