Change of Major/Program of Study

To change or update your major/program of study, you will need to meet with your college navigator/faculty mentor. Program changes should be in consultation with your college navigator/faculty mentor and Financial Aid counselor (when applicable). Program changes must be recorded in the Admissions Office.

Program Update Forms received by Student Services after the full-term census date will be processed for the following semester. Changing a major will update the catalog of record to the current catalog year.

Students are responsible for monitoring progress in their program of study and ensuring that they are taking courses within their program for the correct catalog year. Financial aid amounts dispersed to students are subject to reduction for any courses not required for their program. Students are encouraged to seek assistance from college personnel and the Program Evaluation function in Patriot Port to clarify program requirements.

Multiple Majors/Academic Programs

When deemed beneficial to attaining a student’s academic goals, and in accordance with North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges Code, the dean of students or designee may approve students to enroll in multiple majors/academic programs concurrently. This decision is made on an individual basis in consultation with the respective academic dean(s) or designee and applicable Student Services staff (reference Multiple Majors/Academic Policy 401-01-04AP).
