Note: You must have at least one active major at all times. If you have only one major and try to submit that change without adding your new major, you will receive an error message. This means, you have to drop the current major and add the new major before clicking ‘submit’.

At any time prior to clicking submit, if you click Start Over, this will remove any changes made on the current page and Cancel will take you to back to the ‘Change my Major’ home page.

If the new major you have selected is a high intervention major, these require departmental approval. The high intervention majors will have the ‘Flag’ symbol shown below alongside of that particular major. When you submit the request, it will be in a pending status, which requires placement into a pre-plan.

At this time the department will receive your request and either approve the plan or deny it.
