Academic Policies and Requirements 

Change of Academic Major

Students desiring to change their program of study after enrolling should follow these steps:

1. Complete a Change of Academic Major/Minor form in the Counseling Services Office.

2. Participate in a career change information session. The Counseling Services representative will check the new program against the student's test scores and/or former college work and inform the student if retesting or developmental course work is required. Students will be advised that a change of major can affect the length of time to program completion, student financial aid, veteran's benefits and other situations. Referrals will be made as needed.

3. Upon completion of the form and approval of the change, information will be forwarded to the Registrar's Office, where the student's major will be officially changed. Information on the change of major will be forwarded to the new department, the former department and other offices, as appropriate.
