What is the College of Business & Economics Student Service Center?

The College of Business & Economics Student Service Center (CBE SSC) maintains the academic files of declared majors in the College of Business and Economics, processes Department-level and College-level major and minor graduation checks and most academic area petitions, handles all registration-related activities for CBE classes, and, in general, advises and assists students in all academic program-related matters.

The SSC is a one-stop shopping center for your major! Your folder is on file in the SSC and is available for your reference. It includes transcripts, a major evaluation, a major check and/or a minor check, if applicable, and copies of any and all academic petitions and substitution forms submitted to the SSC.
