Declare or Change Major

Need to declare a major? Or thinking about changing your major or declaring an additional major? Follow the directions below to complete the process and get you on your way toward reaching your academic goals.

Submit a Declare or Change Major Form

  • If you are no longer pursuing your current major, it is important that you declare your new major by completing a Declare or Change Major Form.
  • You may also use this form to declare a second major.

Previously Non-Degree Seeking

  • If you were previously non-degree seeking and are now declaring your intent to pursue a degree or certificate and have never completed a college level math or English course, you may require placement prior to enrollment. Visit the prerequisite and placement page for requirements.
  • If you have completed coursework at another college that you wish to apply toward your degree at ÌìÑĺ£½ÇAPP, submit your official transcripts of that work to our Admissions Office. 

Selective Admission Programs

  • If you wish to pursue a major in a selective admission program, you must first apply for acceptance into the program. You cannot declare a selective admission major by completing a Declare or Change Major form.
  • Your major will be updated for you automatically if you are accepted into the selective admission program.
  • Prior to being accepted into the program, you may declare your major to be Liberal Arts (Major Code #1000). This will allow you to pursue completion of prerequisites that may be needed prior to admission to the program.

Financial Aid Eligibility

To determine if you are in a financial aid eligible major, view the Major Codes List. Programs that are not eligible for federal financial aid are marked with an asterisk (*).

  • Please note that to receive federal financial aid and most types of ÌìÑĺ£½ÇAPP grants and scholarships, you must be pursuing a degree or certificate in a major that is aid eligible.
  • You must also be taking courses that are required for your program of study based on DegreeCheck.
  • Non-degree-seeking students will not be eligible for federal financial aid.

Catalog of Record

  • Submitting a Declare or Change Major Form will change your catalog of record, which may impact which courses you are required to complete.
  • For information on how to determine your catalog of record for graduation, refer to Graduation Requirements.
  • For assistance in determining how a change of major will affect your progress toward a degree or certificate, schedule an appointment to meet with a counselor in the Student Success Center before submitting a Declare or Change Major form.
