Engineering Major –> Different Engineering Major

Students who wish to change to another major within the College of Engineering must submit a Change of Major form. Your major advisor may ask you to schedule a meeting to discuss future goals and the effect of changing majors will have on future semester schedules before approving the request.

To apply for a change of major, complete the following steps:

  1. Submit a Change of Major form to initiate the process. If you are a NEW STUDENT and it is before the last day to Add/Drop courses for the semester, see below BEFORE you fill out/submit the form.
  2. Look for an email from your Major Advisor if a meeting is required.
