Overview

Students who have been accepted to UWF for an upcoming semester and wish to change their major should contact the Office of Admissions if they have not registered for courses for their first semester at UWF.  

If a student has already registered courses for their first semester at UWF, the student should follow the change of major (CoM) guidelines for continuing undergraduate students.   What about grad students???  (LB - GAD will notify REG of track changes and REG will make the change on SGASTDN/SFAREGS for GAD....so, the student needs to go to GAD for assistance)  Continuing students (students who have been admitted and enrolled in previous semesters) may change their major at any time of the year, but the actual date of CoM submission dictates what semester the CoM will be effective.

  • Students receiving Financial Aid of any type should check with the Office of Financial Aid regarding change of major implications on their student loan eligibility.
  • Student-athletes and veterans must also seek approval from an Athletic or Veteran Advisor in addition to the specific college Academic Advisor, Department Chair, or Dean.  For qualifying students, changes will not be processed without an Athletic or Veteran Advisor signature.

Instructions

Change of Major Deadlines: Change of majors should be submitted prior to the end of drop/add week for the major to be applicable to that semester.  If forms are received after the end of add/drop week, the major/minor change will be effective for the following semester and will include the corresponding catalog year. 

Completed electronic and paper forms should be delivered in-person to the Registrar Office, emailed, interoffice mailed, or faxed directly to Adam Burgess in the Registrar’s Office, building 18.  

FAQs

Students could change their major multiple times, but with the consequences of possibly extending their academic career and accruing Excess Credit Hour Surcharges. Students are encouraged to seek academic advisement from the department offering the new program/major to determine the length of the new curriculum prior to changing a major, e.g. what existing credits will or will not count towards the new major, are there additional requirements such as external exams (Education degrees), etc.

CoM forms submitted prior to the end of drop/add week will be effective that semester. For forms received after the end of add/drop week, the major/minor change will not be effective until the following semester and will include the corresponding catalog year.
