How do I change or add a college or major?

You can change/add a college or major at any point in your undergraduate career at the University of Arizona. Please be aware that certain majors may require prerequisites.

A change of major before registration of classes is done through Admissions. You can contact your assigned enrollment counselor for assistance.

Once you have registered for classes, to declare a major in a different college, you must first receive permission from the dean’s office of the college to which you wish to transfer. Change from one college to another is initiated by filing a change of college form with the new college.

To change majors within your current college, consult with the academic advisor for the new major regarding program requirements and the procedure to declare the major. There may be restrictions on the time of the semester for declaring a major or changing colleges.

Once you have changed your major, please contact International Student Services (ISS) to let them know of the changes so they can update your I-20.
