Notification
of Student Academic Services or the College/School/Departmental office
is required when a student declares or changes his/her major.
Declaring a Major
Many students declare their majors when they are accepted
into the University or during their orientation programs, before they
initially register for courses. Those who enter the University with
an "undecided" major should declare their majors prior to
the completion of 45 semester hours. To earn a degree in a timely
manner, several academic departments recommend that students declare
their major even earlier in their academic careers. Students should
contact the department of their intended major for further information.
Changing a Major
Students planning to change their majors should do so well
in advance of the next registration period in order to be assigned
to a new advisor and to receive adequate advising in the department
or advising center of their new majors.
Students should declare or change their majors by the end of September
for Spring semester registration in the new major, and by the end
of February for Fall semester registration in the new major.
