Sophomore Year Experience

Your sophomore year is an important time in your academic career at Agnes Scott.  Not only will you declare your major by the end of the year, you will also use this year to plan for co-curricular opportunities in research, study abroad and professional endeavors.  

Click here for  overviews of many of the academic policies and procedures that impact your sophomore year experience at Agnes Scott along with useful learning strategies.  This information should answer many of these commonly asked questions about major/minor/specialization declaration, registration and credits, cross-registration through ARCHE, getting approval for transient credit, and even leaving the college. It is also where you will find the final exam schedule. In addition, you can view videos which simplify the steps for several common processes, including major declaration, ARCHE cross enrollment, and transient coursework.

We encourage you to attend all of the events you can and connect with your SUMMIT Advisor on developing a plan for taking advantage of the many opportunities available to you this fall.
