Major Change Within the College of Arts and Sciences
To change your major within the College, to something like Neuroscience or Economics,
you can meet with your assigned Undergraduate Academic Advisor to be advised for that
major change. Feel free to schedule with Exploratory Advising or the Dean's Office
in Flinn Hall if you would like to talk about multiple options and their pros and
cons.
Major Change Outside the College of Arts and Sciences
To change your major outside the College, to something like Public Health or Business,
you'll have to meet with Exploratory Advising. They will help you through that process,
including considering which majors may be the best fit for your chosen paths and helping
you through the process of applying to the new major.
To change your major, you may have to meet certain requirements like having a certain
GPA or having earned a certain number of credit hours. You can view the requirements

As a university student, professionalism will be expected by your faculty and staff.
It is also one of the important skills many employers look for in employees. While
in college, you'll want to hone your skills and habits that will benefit you throughout
your career. From perfecting email etiquette to ensuring you're dressed appropriately
for classes and meetings on campus, you can practice professional skills at school.
Refer to these resources to learn how to be a more professional student!
Etiquette for Online Communication
Include your Student ID (the one with the letter) in your email
Begin emails with a proper greeting (Examples: Dr. Name; Ms. Name; Hello Professor
Name; Good afternoon Mr. Name).
Starting an email without a greeting or with “Hey” is not appropriate
When sending an email, include a detailed subject line. Also, make sure you reference
your course number if applicable (Ex. BIOL 102 section 001)
Use proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. Text messaging language
is not acceptable
Do not use all CAPITAL LETTERS in emails or discussion board postings. This is considered
“shouting” and is seen as impolite or aggressive.
Re-read, think, and edit your message before you click send
Discussion Boards:
Discussion boards are a way for you to share your ideas and learning with your colleagues
in class
Show respect for one another by exhibiting patience and courtesy in your exchanges
- its okay to disagree, its not okay to insult others
Use appropriate language and restrain from verbal attacks upon those whose perspectives
differ from your own
