All students must declare a major by the end of the semester in which they have accumulated 60 credit hours toward graduation. Students who have not declared a major, but who have accumulated 60 or more credit hours, may not be permitted to register for classes. Students entering with 60 or more transfer credits must declare a major by the end of their first semester on campus.
