To declare a major or change to a different major, the student needs to contact the academic department that he/she is declaring and obtain the Major/Minor Change Form. Upon completion of the form with signatures from the new academic department (and previous department if student is changing majors), the form is returned to the Registrar’s Office for approval and recording.
The catalog that the major requirements are drawn from is determined by the academic year the current major is declared. The minor always follows the same catalog as the declared major. If a student declares two majors, the catalog for all majors and minors (if applicable) will follow the catalog of the first major.
Please note: a change of emphasis area constitutes a change of major, and thus, the catalog could change, depending on the time of year of the change.
