The Premajor Advising Workshop (PAW) is designed to serve criminal justice and law enforcement students after admission to the university. PAW sessions introduce students to SLC programs, policies and procedures. New students should register for the PAW after they have completed New Student Orientation.
Attendance at a PAW is one of several requirements for criminal justice and law enforcement students to declare their major. Sessions are offered several times throughout the semester. Students must register to attend a PAW by calling 651-999-5880. Space is limited.
All workshops are held at Metropolitan State's Midway Campus.
