Here are the steps to declare a major or minor:
- To declare a major download the Declaration Of Major form and fill out the student and major/minor information sections. To declare a minor download the Declaration Of Minor form and fill out the student and major/minor information sections.
- Mac users: Please fill out forms in Adobe Reader or Acrobat rather than Preview. Information filled out in Preview is not retained when the pdf is opened in other applications.

- Fill out the form, remembering to choose a concentration if declaring a major
- Meet with the Director of Undergraduate Studies (remote/virtually) or another department or program adviser to discuss your interests and academic program, and get the form signed.
