Declare Major

I need to declare my major. What should I do?

• Declaring an academic major should be your number one priority and may effect your schedule planning.
  
  
• To declare your major, visit the major department as soon as possible.
  
  
• To declare a major in the College of Letters and Science, you should have completed most of the lower division course prerequisite courses specified by the major department.
  
  
• If you are interested in changing your major, visit the new major department and an L&S Adviser immediately to determine the feasibility of achieving what may be a difficult new goal.
  
  
• Always take major prerequisites and upper division courses for a letter grade unless the major department tells you otherwise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q - What will happen if I do not declare my major?

A - Your future registration may be delayed or blocked and your eventual graduation may be delayed.

Q - Do I have more time if I want to declare a double major or simultaneous degrees?

A - No. The expectation is that you will declare at least one major at the beginning of your junior year. It would be ideal if you could declare both majors at the beginning of your junior year, however, it is not unusual for a second major to be declared later. If you are intending a double major, begin talking with your major advisers and a college adviser as soon as possible
