Who are students' first point of contact regarding changing classes or majors?

• A. Registrar's Office
• B. Advisors
• C. Faculty Members
• D. Academic Department

Answer: (B)

Academic advising is the place to start when you’re considering changing classes or switching majors. An advisor can review your current coursework, map out degree requirements, and assess how a change would affect your progress toward graduation. They understand deadlines, prerequisites, and campus policies, and they can help you create a realistic plan that keeps you on track.

If a change seems appropriate, the advisor guides the next steps and coordinates with other offices as needed. The registrar’s office handles the actual updates to your academic record once everything is approved. Individual faculty members can offer course-specific guidance, and academic departments can discuss major options, but they’re not the primary source for planning or initiating changes.
