Declare your major
All first-year students and transfer students with less than 24 credits take URI 101, a seminar covering academic planning and the use of university resources and programs for academic success. Additionally, monthly workshops on finding your major are held the first Monday of each month in the Barlow Hall lounge from 5 to 6 p.m.
