MIDDLE GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY
REQUEST FOR CHANGE OF MAJOR
The first step in changing majors is to meet with an academic advisor in the desired discipline in order to determine the appropriateness of
the major and your eligibility for the program of study. Please note:
Completing a Change of Major form does not guarantee acceptance into the program of study.
Changing majors could delay graduation. (Consult with academic advisor and review MyDegree's What - If)
Changing majors could affect your financial aid award. (Consult with Office of Financial Aid)
Learning Support students may indicate an intended major but are not officially in an academic program until they have
completed all LS requirements and met all requirements for acceptance into the program of study.
Students changing majors from transient to degree-seeking status must contact the Office of Admission and submit all
college transcripts and necessary documents.
This form is not for adding a second major. Students wishing to add a second major should complete the Declaration of
Second Major Degree form.
Requests for change of major processed after the second week of classes in a semester will not become official until the
the following semester.
Students currently enrolled in an Aviation certificate program can not use this form to change to a degree program. They
must instead contact the Office of Admissions to be evaluated for admission to a degree program.
Directions:
Fill in the fields below. Next, secure the signature of an advisor for the new major. The advisor for the new major will make a copy for your
advising file. Advisors will need to be updated in Banner and signed off by the new department. Next forward the original copy to your
current advisor. The current advisor will sign the form and send the original copy to registrar@mga.edu. **If printing the form, be sure the
Current Major and New Major/Degree section is completed electronically prior to printing. All signature fields can be signed electronically
