Changing Your Major

There are many reasons you might need to change your major. The most common of these is the transition from a pre-major program into the official degree. No matter the reason, however, actually requesting the change is something that you can do within LionPATH.

To begin this process select the My Advisors button from your LionPATH Home Page. On the screen that you're directed to, select Update Academics (see Figure 2.13).

Once you have selected Continue, you'll be directed to a screen displaying what programs and/or certificates in which you are currently enrolled. To change any of these, simply select the appropriate checkbox and you'll be directed to a screen where you can request your desired changes (see Figure 2.14). These requests will then be reviewed by the department you intend to transfer into.

If you need assistance with this process, you can always reach out to your advisor or a staff member in the Registrar's office. They cannot make these selections for you, but they can offer you assistance in navigating the process.
