Complete the Math Preparation and placement process. You can review your math skills for free to prepare you for placement or your next course. It takes up to three business days for ALEKS PPL placement to be posted in your student record. Completing the assessment by August 1 will ensure your placement is posted before enrollment begins for fall.
Review the General Catalog, especially the sample academic plans and major qualification policy.

Please also note that it is necessary to complete (or test-out of) a 3-quarter series of foreign language classes – through level 3 - as a requirement of this major. Doing this sooner rather than later is recommended. Information about language placement is on the Languages and Applied Linguistics website. Note that many language level 1 classes are only offered in fall quarter.
Additional considerations when developing your first quarter enrollment plan can be found in the First Quarter Enrollment Advising Guide 2025-26.
