Process for Changing Majors and/or Advisor

1. The student visits their current advisor, informs them of their decision to change majors and/or advisor, and picks up their advisement folder. If the student cannot reach their advisor, they should contact their advisor's department chair.
2. The student meets with the Associate Dean/Chair/or chair designee of the school in which they seek major and/or advisement and requests advisor assignment.
3. The Associate Dean/Chair/or chair designee assigns and arranges for the student to meet with the new advisor.
4. The new advisor receives the advisement folder, counsels with the student, and assures that the advisement and/or major code is changed during the next enrollment process.
5. If the student is changing majors and has difficulty completing steps one through three above, she/he should contact the Dean/Associate Dean of their College or School of her/his interest.

Undeclared students who are changing advisors should meet with the Dean/Associate Dean of the College or School of their interest to complete steps 2 and 3 above.
