The IAPA Declaration Process

ASK overrides cannot be generated until AFTER the student has completed the concentration form and met with a faculty advisor or the Concentration Manager.
 

1. Download and complete the IAPA Concentration Form

• List courses for all 11 requirements.
• Include courses you've already taken and those you plan to take, drawing from the list of courses that are currently offered.
• Double check the IAPA website to make sure the electives you select count for your track.
• This is a plan and is not set in stone. You will change/update the final course plan during senior year.

2. Meet with a faculty advisor or the Concentration Manager

• Sign up for office hours.
• Email a copy of your completed concentration form ahead of time or bring a copy to the meeting.
• Be prepared to discuss your plan of study, your interests within IAPA, capstone options, and plans for study abroad.
• Bring any questions you have about IAPA.

3. Log into ASK and submit your declaration

• List all 11 courses, labeling each one with the requirement you are using it to fulfill.
• Students will not be able to submit an ASK declaration UNTIL they've completed steps 1 and 2

Note about selecting a preferred advisor

Students select a ‘preferred’ advisor, but the actual assignment will depend on the advisor's availability and how many students are currently assigned to them.
