XI. Student Communities
In summer 2000, CLA Student Services changed its structure for providing advising services to students. Instead of serving students based on their major status (premajor and upper division), we provide services based on students' majors or areas of interest if they have not yet declared a major. A list of the student communities and the majors they serve follows.
If you are unsure about what student community to refer a student to, please have the student contact the CLA Student Information Office, 49 Johnston Hall, (612) 625-2020.

Individually Designed Majors and Degrees
An Individually Designed Interdepartmental Major (IDIM) for the BA degree enables you to combine courses from three or more CLA departments focused on a unifying theme.
Students completing a bachelor of individualized studies (BIS) or individually designed interdepartmental major (IDIM) may be served by any of the nine student communities. Contact the CLA Student Information Office to locate the community to which the student has been assigned.
Individualized Degree Programs (http://idp.class.umn.edu) is located in 345 Fraser Hall, 612-624-8006.
