Our campus has made a necessary adjustment with the major/minor processing timeline due to impacts on financial aid/scholarships.
Major/Minor change requests:
- If received prior to and through week 1 of the semester, the major/minor change will be effective for the current semester
- If received after week 1 of the semester, the major/minor change will be effective the next academic term
If an exception to the timing is necessary, in consultation with financial aid, the major/minor change could be allowed. You will be able to see their new advisor in BearDeN immediately after processing regardless of effective term and will be able to register for major restricted courses for the upcoming term without error.
