Declaring or Changing a Major

Undergraduate students who wish to declare a major or change their current major must submit a Change of Academic Program Form to the Office of Records and Registration. Before submitting the form, students should schedule a meeting with the Division Chair of the intended major to review program requirements and determine eligibility for admission to the program. If approved, the student will be assigned a faculty advisor designated by the Division Chair.

Undergraduate students enrolled at the College under the Exploratory option are required to declare a major before earning 60 credit hours. Students who remain enrolled in an Exploratory status after earning 60 credits may lose eligibility for federal financial aid and New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) awards. Additionally, students cannot graduate under an Exploratory status.

Students considering a change of major should be aware that completion of prerequisite courses and major-specific degree requirements may extend the time required to complete their degree.
