A transfer student is eligible to declare a major or minor by submitting a major or minor declaration form through our website following their initial advising meeting in the Office of Academic Services or during a Transfer Student Orientation.

Students with questions about majors/minors should contact or visit the appropriate academic department or college. Students can change to a different major and/or minor after their initial declaration by submitting a new major change form online.

Students going into a major in Business or Education must adhere to additional requirements as specified by those degrees:

The major is not considered official until the Major/Minor Declaration Form is on file in the Office of the Registrar. Each semester, the Office of the Registrar sets a major declaration deadline for the semester.

Dropping a Major

A student may officially drop a major by completing the Major/Minor Declaration Form.

Changing Majors
