How do I change my major?

  • Complete the on-line Declaration/Change of Major/Minor Form.
  • Students are expected to review their CARES report on-line, five business days after submitting a request, to verify accuracy and obtain the name and contact information of their new advisor.
NOTE: Only students currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree are eligible to declare a minor. Students in the B.A., General Studies major may not declare a minor.

It is important for students to make early contact with their department, either before declaring a major or immediately afterwards, to review their new program requirements.
