To declare a major in your home school, please complete a Declaration Form (available in the Office of the Institute Registrar). The form requires that all first majors of the primary curriculum must be approved by the department chair and have an advisor assigned. The form should be returned to the Office of the Insitute Registrar in General Hall. Declarations of all must be received in the Registrar's Office during the two-week add/drop period to be effective for that term. Declarations received after the add/drop period will not be processed until the end of the term.

Registration Priority

Some departments offer registration priority to students who have declared a major within that department as the first major of their primary curriculum. Registration priority is only available for the first major of the primary curriculum. All need to be completed at the time of graduation, however, will be reflected on the transcript.
