      1. How do I declare Religion as my major?<\/h2>\n

      STEP 1: Use the online form<\/a> to declare your major or go to the CAS Advising Office located at 100 Bay State Rd, Rm 401, to fill out a\u00a0 Declaration of Major<\/a> form.\u00a0 STEP 2: Meet with your advisor (to be assigned by the Religion Dept. after STEP 1 is completed).

      2. How do I get an academic advisor?<\/h2>\n

      Based on your area of concentration, the Religion department will make a determination on which faculty member would make the best suitable advisor for you. Email religion@bu.edu<\/a> to set you up with an advisor.

      3. I am trying to register for classes. How do I get my Academic Advising Code?<\/h2>\n

      After<\/em> meeting with your academic advisor, go to BSR 145, Suite 201, and a staff member will provide you with the Academic Advising Code that will grant you full registration privileges. You may also email staff at religion@bu.edu if you cannot retrieve your code in person.

      4. I took a class at another university similar to a class taught at Boston University. How do I find out if I can transfer those credits toward my degree?<\/h2>\n

      Visit the Religion office at 145 Bay State Road and fill out a Transfer of Credit Form. <\/a>Bring a copy of the course syllabus with you. Professor April Hughes, the Director of Undergraduate Studies, will decide if the credits can be transferred and if so grant the appropriate signature.\u00a0You may email the form<\/a>\u00a0to religion@bu.edu<\/a> or leave it in Wendy Czik\u2019s mailbox on the second floor.<\/p>\n
