  An advising checklist is a list of all of the requirements that must be completed in order to graduate from a given major. A checklist for each of our Justice and Legal Studies program options is available in our office. A course sequencing sheet can be requested from Jo Walker at uaa_justicecenter@alaska.edu. To track your progress towards graduation, log on to DegreeWorks.

• How do I register for a Justice or Legal Studies course if I do not satisfy the prerequisites for the course?
  Students will need to email the class instructor for permission to enroll. To avoid delays, please include your full name, UAA ID number, CRN, course name, and the error message in the body of your email with your request.

  Students who are initially admitted as a pre-major have not completed the prerequisite course(s) for admission into the major. Students will remain in pre-major status until they complete the relevant courses in each program with the minimum grades. Once the required courses are completed, the Justice Center will submit a Change of Major form.
