Declare your major early (if necessary) while in UBUS 310. Declared majors have first priority in course registration. Changing your major at the end of a semester may prevent you from getting the courses you need to graduate on time (because of prerequisites or closed classes, etc.).
Once you begin UBUS 310 and start the upper-division major courses, your advising office will change from Undergraduate Advising and Student Resources to the OM&IS department. The OM&IS advisor is Russ Devereaux, whose office is located in Barsema Hall 328A. You can contact him at rdevereaux2@niu.edu or 815-753-6372.
Set a goal to get career-related experience through an internship. Visit the OM&IS department internship web page, attend the OM&IS Meet the Firm Night held each September and register on Huskies Get Hired.
Get involved on campus to gain leadership experience. Consider joining the Association for Operations Management (APICS), the Association for Information Technology Professionals (AITP) or the OM&IS Student Advisory Board (SAB).
Apply for scholarships. Applications for OM&IS scholarships are due at the end of February.
Review your Degree Progress Report (DPR) each semester. You are responsible for your graduation requirements. If you believe your DPR contains an error, contact Russ Devereaux at rdevereaux2@niu.edu.
