      Ready to Declare?

      Reminder: All grades must be posted from Fall 2015 before applying.

      Use the Declaration of Major Form (If this link is inactive, please check back later. Thank you.)  This is an online request for current Belk College pre-majors who are eligible to declare their majors. Non-majors and declared upper-divsision majors cannot use this form.  It is intended for students who have already met with their Academic Advisor to discuss degree requirements for their chosen major.  Students who have not met with an advisor to discuss the requirements for their chosen major should schedule an advising appointment via Starfish and complete the declaration form in-person.
