Who should I meet with to discuss my status?
Students on progress warning should meet with their adviser in order to develop and implement a plan to restore satisfactory progress. A list of the Coordinators of Advising is available.
How do I change my major?
To begin the process of changing to a new major, students must:
- Obtain signed approval from the dean of the new major department on a Curriculum Change form. This form is also available at the department offices.
- On this same Curriculum Change form, obtain signed approval from the dean of the previous major, "releasing" you from the old curriculum.
- Return form to Registration and Records in 1000 Harris Hall
How do I declare a minor?
Once you have decided on a minor, you will want to contact the department to find out more details. You do not have to be accepted by the college with which you declare a minor.
How do I add a second major?
To add a second major, students must:
- Obtain the Second Major form (also available at department offices)
- Obtain signed approval from the dean of the major department you wish to have a second major
- Bring signed form to Registration and Records in 1000 Harris Hall
What if I don't meet the requirements after one semester?
Failure to return to satisfactory progress status by the beginning of the next semester (Spring) will result in a change in your enrollment status. This means you will no longer be identified as a degree-seeking student. Please see Section 7 of this policy for more information.
