Declaring or Changing an Education Major

The Request to Change or Add a Program, Plan, or Subplan form is used to initiate and document a your decision to change your program, plan or subplan. For example:

• Change of Program: e.g. Changing from Business to Education
  
• Change of Plan: e.g. Changing from Undecided to Early Childhood
  
• Change of Subplan: e.g. Changing from Middle Childhood -Early Adolescence: Social Studies to Middle Childhood - Early Adolescence: Language Arts

You should schedule an appointment with an advisor in the new program area by calling the Scheduling Hotline at (414) 229-4721. The goal of this appointment is to review the program requirements for the new program and document your decision in writing using the form. The only way to obtain the form is to schedule an appointment with your advisor.

Once this appointment is completed, your new advisor will update the PAWS to reflect the requested change as well as update your academic advisor and add a faculty advisor.

Advising Issues: Changing majors may have an impact on the length of time it will take to obtain your degree. In addition, if you exceed 165 credits to complete your degree you will be required to pay additional tuition for each credit over 165.
