How to Declare a Major

photo     Every undergraduate student must officially declare a major at or before the completion of 60 semester hours (this includes transfer credits). A declaration of a pre-major, such as pre-communication or pre-psychology will not fulfill this requirement.

In order to declare a major or to change your major, you will need to go to the department in which you would like to become a major.  For example, if you would like be declared as a Psychology major, you will need to go to the Department of Psychology

They will issue you a "Major Change Form" to complete.  Once you have submitted the form to your new department, they will verify that you meet the criteria for that specific major.  They will forward the form to the Registrar's Office, and we will in turn update your major in the student records system
