Major and Minor Declaration Deadlines

All matriculated students must declare a major before completing 60 credits towards graduation. Transfer students entering with 60 credits or more must declare their major by the 10th day of classes in their first semester.

The following procedures apply for students who are listed as undeclared, have earned 48 credits towards graduation, and are enrolled for a subsequent term.

  • A student who has earned 48 credits towards graduation and is enrolled for additional credits will be notified by email from the Registrar’s Office of the requirement to declare a major before registering for more than 60 credits. The student will also be informed that a registration hold will be placed on their account if they fail to comply.
  • If a major has not been declared by the time a student attempts to register for beyond 60 credits, a registration hold will prevent registration beyond 60 credits.
  • A student must submit the Major/Minor Declaration form to the Office of the Registrar with the signature of the appropriate Division Chair for the major being declared. Once processed, the hold flag will be removed from student’s account and the student will be eligible for registration.

Requests to change the major and/or minor will be accepted by the Registrar’s Office at any time, but requests submitted after the drop/add period closes for the current semester will not be effective until the beginning of the next semester.

The deadline to make a final change of major prior to graduation is March 1 for May commencement of the following year, April 1 for Summer term graduation of the following year, and October 1 for December graduation of the following year. The final deadline to declare a minor is the 3rd week of the penultimate semester before graduation. After these dates, applications may be approved on a case by case basis by the Assistant Dean for Academic Success and may require mandatory financial aid counseling.

Applications are available from the Registrar’s page on the Tartan. Students missing the deadline may appeal to the Registrar.
