6.1 Change Major and Advisor

A program of study or college major is the choice of the student.  The college urges a selection of major upon admission so the appropriate academic advisor can be assigned to assist in course registration and complete requirements for graduation.  An advisor is a faculty member who teaches within a specific program.  If a student realizes another course of study suits his/her interests and abilities, contacting the Department Chair in the student's current program can complete a change of major/advisor.

If a program of study is a completely new field, then a new advisor will be requested.  Students have the privilege of changing major or advisor for any term.  Caution should be taken in this procedure; frequent changes will delay completing graduation requirements.
