It’s important that your Â鶹ֱ²¥ student record reflects your current major.
If you need to change your major, add or remove a major, or update the catalog year you are following for your program, you will need to submit a Change of Major request form.
You should meet with your Academic Advisor if you’re considering a change of major. Your chosen major determines the courses for which you can receive VA benefits and may also impact your financial aid eligibility.

- Certain programs require students to pass a criminal background check. If you’ve been arrested, charged, or convicted of any criminal offense, check with your Academic Advisor first.
- Majors that consist of fewer than 16 credits are not eligible for federal financial aid.
- Veterans: If you are receiving Veteran’s Benefits, you must also notify the Â鶹ֱ²¥ Veterans School Certifying Official of your program change.
- International Students: You must also notify a Â鶹ֱ²¥ Designated School Official (DSO) of your program change.

Get Your Transcript Evaluation Updated
If you have previously had an official transcript from another institution evaluated by Â鶹ֱ²¥, and think that you may need to have it re-evaluated toward the requirements for your new program, to request a transcript re-evaluation. Make sure to include in your request which transcript(s) you would like to have re-evaluated.
