Due to the current partial government shutdown, I am suggesting that all students verify with their attending colleges whether their selected academic major-of-completion still exists. Contact your assigned academic advisor or the onsite registrar's office to verify, before attending this upcoming spring semester.
Do you know whether there has been a decline of enrollment of your said major? How many students were in each of your classes, during the winter semester?
Be cautious of any major program that you have noticed a decline of course choices, especially courses that are normally available at the main campus of your college. Most often, courses are being canceled due to a lack of student enrollees [in a specific major program].
Often, colleges will comment to their students that they will allow current enrollees the opportunity to complete their degree programs. If a major program closes, most accredited colleges will allow you to complete its program of study--even if you are the only student still interested in completing such a degree. It is very important that you make sure to obtain and save your year-in college catalog (whether online or offline), and "each" semester's fee schedule and course-choices catalog.
If your chosen college's college catalog is online, for your year-in (the year of your first semester), it is important for you to print a copy for future reference--and keep such document in its entirety forever! (or until your student loans are paid off). After you have graduated from your college of choice, be mindful that you will not be able to log back into your student ID platform. Therefore, you must make sure to print out all important documents, and official letterhead documents sent to you by your college of choice.
This may be an unusual spring semester of college staff actions, due to the partial government shutdown. Many of you, I realize, are still waiting to be able to access your financial aid platform. Should I attend the first class of each spring course that I am enrolled? is going to be a decision that you and your parents will have to personally make.
Lastly, don't give up on your personal college endeavors: Follow your school's protocols and policies when formally communicating with the college's staff and teacher body. Each college student is required to have an academic advisor. Go to your major's dean office, immediately, if you don't already know the name of your advisor. Never allow another staff person of the college to approve a course that you would like to enroll in without informing or speaking with your advisor first.
