Dropping one major or a minor from a double major or major/minor plan

If you are currently declared as a double major or major/minor and want to drop a major or a minor, you must meet with the advisor in the department that is being dropped (for example, if you are declared as a Literature and Economics double major and want to drop your Literature major, you must meet with the Literature advisor).  The advisor will fill out a Request for Drop of a Major/Minor form and file it with the appropriate offices, leaving you declared with a single major. 

If dropping a major or minor will require a revision of your academic plan, or if you have questions about your remaining major requirements, you should contact the advisor for your single major.

You may only use this process if:

•  you are declared in either a double major or a major/minor program (you cannot use this process to change to undeclared status) AND

•  you are keeping at least one of your declared majors AND

•  you are not adding any other major or minor. 

If you are newly declaring any major or minor, use the declaration of major/minor process instead.
