Change Major or Degree Aim
The Change Major or Degree Aim tool is accessed through GEPA’s Student Database
This online tool is used for the following:
a student wants to change major codes (e.g., from EC77 to EC78)
a student wants to change degree aim (e.g., from MA to PhD, or MS to MBA)
a student wants to change both major code and degree aim (e.g., from MA in LA76 to PhD in HI75).
This tool is only used when there is no break in enrollment; if 1 quarter or more is missed, a General Petition for readmission is needed (see the Readmission page). [If the student is on a leave, the student must be returned from leave into the original program before the change major form can be submitted]
For requests to change departments/programs, the student’s current home department/program must initiate the request. After home department/program approval, it will be routed to the proposed program for final approval.
A student must be registered for the quarter in which the change is requested.
