Declaring/Changing Your Academic Major
Students who wish to declare or change their major must complete a Change in Student Record form in the Academic Advising Office, located in room 23 of the Miller Administration building. Once a student declares or changes his/her major, the Academic Advising Office will assign a new academic advisor in the student's chosen major.Several of the academic majors have restricted access; therefore, a student must obtain a signature from the appropriate faculty member in order to be admitted into the restricted program.
