How do I change a major?
You can go to the Admissions and Records office located in the Student Services Building (map) and fill out a 'Change of Major' form. To obtain this form online, click here and select ’Major or Minor Change or Declaration’ from the list on the left. Once you have filled in your personal information and the desired major, you will need to take it to the major department for the Chair’s signature. Once signed, make a copy of the form for your records and bring the original form back to Admissions and Records. It may take 2-3 business days for the change to be reflected in your campus profile.
