Once formally admitted and in attendance, students may request a change of major or degree program to another program at the same level (i.e. associate to associate, or baccalaureate to baccalaureate) through the Change of Major/Degree process. The form for this process can be found at Enrollment Services, or online at http://www.uaa.alaska.edu/admissions/forms.cfm. No fee is required with a change of major or degree at the same level.

Students admitted initially in undeclared or pre-major status may also declare a major or degree through this process. Students must meet the specific admissions requirements of the desired program and must be formally accepted by signature of the Dean or Department Chair.

Students who change their major or degree program must meet the catalog requirements in effect at the time of the change or the catalog in effect at the time of graduation. Exception: students who change from pre-major to full major must meet the catalog requirements in effect at the time of initial admission to the pre-major or the catalog in effect at the time of graduation.
