Change of Major Request Form

How to Change Your Program of Study

It is strongly recommended that students speak with an academic advisor prior to submitting a request for change to your program or plan.

Changes can be requested for majors, minors, and/or certificates. Students may request multiple changes in one form (e.g., change major as well as add a minor or certificate). The form has a limit of changes per section. For example, if you need to delete or remove multiple minors, a new form will need to be completed for each.

Tuition is based on your program and that changing or adding to your major program may result in a change to your tuition and fees.

REQUEST TO CHANGE MAJOR/MINOR/CERTIFICATE

Approval Process

Submitted requests will be approved or denied by the College that houses the new or additional program requested. You will receive an email from the College that houses the request if your request has been denied. If approved, your request will be routed to the Registrar’s Office for processing, resulting in a change to your program and Degree Map. This process may take 2-3 business days.
