Advising
Declaring an English Major
To become an English major, you will need to file an application for the major with the College of Arts & Sciences (A&S). Students can apply on-line. Once A&S approves the major application, your records will be sent to the English Department and we will establish a file for you. We will contact you by email to notify you of your acceptance into the major and to request that you make an initial advising appointment. To schedule an appointment, contact Sherry McCroskey, Administrative Assistant for Undergraduate Studies in English, at (502) 852-0506 or by email.
Advising Procedures for English Majors
In the past, all advising for approved majors was handled by two designated Undergraduate English Department advisors, but the university has now shifted to a centralized approach to advising. All majors will work with professional advisors to determine course selections. (Please see your Cardsmart account to see who your advisor is and how to contact them.) As the English Department transitions away from departmental advising, we'll be offering students opportunities to meet with faculty mentors. See the contact information for our faculty mentors below.
