Declare a Major or Minor

If you are an undeclared student who wishes to specify a major:

If you want to change your major:

You must use the Change of Major Petition
Your new department must sign the form before your old department
Some departments require the completion of prerequisite courses with a minimum GPA before you can change into the major
Submit petition to the college Dean's office in which new major is listed
You must complete 1 quarter at UCD before changing your major

If you want to declare a double major:

You must use the Change of Major Petition and the Multiple Major Approval Form
You must complete 2 upper division courses in each major before declaring the double major
You must be able to complete BOTH majors plus all University/College requirements within the 225 unit limit

If you want to declare a minor:

You must use the Declare a Minor Petition
You do not need to declare your minor until the quarter before you graduate
It must be signed by both the major and minor departments
It is best to wait until minor courses have been finalized before submitting the petition. If any course changes are made after turning in the petition, you must submit a revised copy (also signed by both the major and minor advisor).

Send an e-mail to cbsundergrads@ucdavis.edu with "Declaration" as the subject.
