Need to change your Major/Minor/Advisor?

We encourage students to talk with their advisors before changing their Major.

Students/advisors can see what a major change would look like through the Student Planning Tool. Use the "View a New Program" button when on the Progress page.

Academic requirements can be found in the academic catalog HERE. Confirm that your catalog year is correct prior to exploring the requirements.

Frequent changes in majors and minors can lead to additional coursework and semesters to graduation.

 

Major / Minor / Advisor Change Form

Changes will take 7-10 Business days and you will receive an email when your change has been completed.  Be sure to complete all required fields and the electronic signature!

Thank Your Advisor!

Academic advisors play an important role in helping students to succeed. Thanking your advisor for their help is a great way to let them know they make a difference.

The Office of Academic Advising has created a new program called, "Thanks to you for all you do!"

Students can now complete an online or paper submission thanking their advisor. Submissions can be made by completing this brief form --  or by completing a paper form in the Academic Advising Office in Bonds Hall.
