Information for Majors
Before declaring the Criminal Justice major, students must complete Foundations of Criminal Justice (CJUS 1100 or 1511) with a grade of C or better within two attempts and have a GPA of at least 2.0. Students may begin submitting their major declaration requests via email to cjusadvisor@charlotte.edu once all of their semester grades have been posted on their transcripts. Be sure to send this email from your Charlotte email address. It is the student’s responsibility to monitor their transcript or DegreeWorks regularly, as no notifications will be sent regarding the status of the major. Please check these documents to confirm when the major appears.
For Declaring the Crime Analytics Concentration:
If you wish to declare the Crime Analytics Concentration, please clearly state this in your declaration email to cjusadvisor@charlotte.edu, along with the required information for the declaring process. Also, you may add the concentration later after becoming a CJUS major by emailing your request to cjusadvisor@charlotte.edu.
