The following six steps must be completed before the College Office can process a student's graduation application:

1. Major/Minor Programs Formally Declared: If not yet complete, meet with a College of Arts & Sciences Academic Advisor to complete the Change of Program (COP) form. This form formally declares the chosen major and minor(s), if applicable. Students will be provided two copies of each Major/Minor Sheets, which list the requirements for the major/minor programs selected. One copy is for the student's faculty advisor and one copy is for the students own information. The COP and the requirements sheets must be taken to the student's major/minor departments for assignment of departmental faculty advisors. The student's major/minor faculty advisors will sign the COP form, and assist the student in selecting coursework to satisfy their major/minor requirements. After meeting with the faculty advisor, the entire Original Change of Program form must be returned to 105 Bowman Hall for final collegial approval.
