Undeclared students must declare a major no later than the spring pre-registration period in the second semester of the sophomore year.

Freshmen or sophomore students may decide to change from a departmental major to an undeclared major for one or two semesters while investigating other choices.

The Process

Students Declaring or Changing a Major

• Change of Major forms (which also serve as major declaration forms) are available in the Office of Academic Advisement or the Registrar's Office.
• Declaring or Changing to a major: Students should schedule an appointment with the appropriate departmental chairperson for signature approval.
• Declaring or Changing to the Undeclared major: Students should see the Director of Academic Advisement who will meet with them and assign a new advisor. 
• It is the student's responsibility to turn the form in to the Registrar's Office and to distribute copies to the appropriate offices indicated on the form.

Advisor/Department Responsibilities

• The “old” advisor will return the student’s folder to the Office of Academic Advisement
• The chairperson will assign a faculty advisor, who will receive the student’s official folder from the Office of Academic Advisement
