Advising Undeclared Students
Division of General Studies at Illinois
Who we are and what we do
• 3000 freshmen and sophomores
• 10 full-time advisors • Exploring and
undecided students
Blank slate • First time away from influence • First opportunity for independent
decision making • First experience with rigor of
Illinois coursework • First exposure to some areas of
study
Statistics suggest
• 80% of new university students feel uncertain about majors
• 50% change major at least once • Undeclared students who engage in the
advising process are more likely to remain in college than declared students
The DGS approach
• Personal advising • GS 101 • Resources • Referrals
Personal advising
• Normalizing • Debunking myths • Information
dissemination • Values clarification • Decision making
