Advising

Each Criminal Justice Major and Minor is assigned a Faculty Adviser when they have completed 30 credits.  The student’s Academic Advisement report will indicate which faculty member has been assigned as an adviser to them.  While Criminal Justice Majors/Minors are not required each semester to meet with their adviser to register, the CJ Department does encourage all students to meet with their advisers when they have questions.

What to do if the class is full?

Closed Class Approval

Students are blocked from enrolling in closed (full) courses. Over-the-limit approvals may be issued – if classroom space permits – by the instructor teaching the course. If approval is granted, the Department Assistant will contact you via email.  Electronic approval is accepted by forwarding an email to the Department Assistant.  All communications must include the student identification number.

Waitlist Approval

The Criminal Justice program maintains waitlists for closed classes. If a class has an active waitlist, a yellow triangle will appear next to the section(s). To be added to the waitlist, you must meet all prerequisites. Once a seat becomes available, the Department Assistant will contact you via email. You will have a 24- to 48-hour window to add this course to your schedule.
