Navigate to the Major Change homepage

Select "Review Requests"

The main landing page for Major Change will show pending requests. If you are elsewhere in the Major Change portal, select the button in the top right corner of the screen labeled with your name. Select “Review Requests” from the dropdown menu.

Select academic plans and review requests

Select the relevant academic plan from drop down menu or review the list of students with pending requests. Approve or deny the requests with the green checkmark or the red “X” respectively.

If the plan is approved, the student will be automatically enrolled into that major. If the plan is denied, the student will be enrolled in the appropriate pre-plan. Students will need to complete all relevant requirements to be approved for their requested major. Students should speak with their advisor to determine next steps.
