1. 1 Test-drive a major before you switch

   "A “what if” DARS/uAchieve report can be run for any major that has been implemented in the system. The audit will then show how courses that you have already completed will be applied to a new major." Run one before you change majors.

2. 2 Your address is public by default

   Under FERPA the university can disclose directory information "to anyone inquiring without having to ask a student for permission, unless the student specifically requests in writing that all such information not be made public without written consent." Directory information includes "Local/permanent addresses and phone numbers". If you don't want that shared, file the non-disclosure request.

3. 3 Any 100 or 200 class fills Free Electives

   In the K-State Core, Free Electives are 6 credit hours, and the area "includes ALL 100-200 Level Courses at K-State or in Transfer." Use those hours on an intro class you are curious about.

5. 5 Record the lecture — Gus makes the notes, flashcards and quiz

   Gus is an AI college companion built around your actual classes. Record a lecture and it writes the notes, pulls out the key topics, builds a flashcard deck, and makes a practice quiz from what was actually said. The flashcards come back on a spaced-review schedule, so the thing you missed shows up again right before you would have forgotten it. It is free to try.
