What if I want to change my college major?

Changing your major can be very simple, especially in the earlier years of your education. It is something that should be anticipated. Changing one's major often requires the permission of the faculty advisor who you have been working with. It will often also require some permission from the college, or at least from the department that you are leaving. It will always require permission from the department that you are about to enter. The process is not that time consuming, but it is something that needs to be done. This is because until the paperwork is actually filed, your major will not be recorded on any transcripts or any documentation that you may need when you want to apply for scholarships or awards, and when it may be important to have a certain major. It's important to get that paperwork filed early.
