A student who wishes
to change his or her program/major must complete
the top portion of the Change of Program
form. This form may also be used to declare a
minor(s), a double major, or to change the catalog
year.
The transferring
department completes the middle section of the
form, releases the counseling file to the student
to take to the new department, and keeps the pink
bottom copy of the form. The receiving department
completes the bottom portion and sends the white
copy to the Registrar's Office to be processed.
The yellow copy is kept in the student's counseling
file by the receiving department.
The
receiving department is responsible for expiring
any advising holds placed by the transferring
department and adding an advising hold, if applicable.
Also, the old advisors must be expired and the
new advisors assigned. Any student attributes
that need to be deleted or added must be indicated
on the form for the Registrar's Office to update.
Changes
are effective the current term. The only exceptions
would be for students accepted into the professional
component of a program, such as in Allied Health
or Nursing.
Note:
Students changing or declaring a major or minor
in music must be able to read music and must
complete an audition for admission to the program.
