Once you’ve made a decision to declare a major and you've met with an advisor from that major, your request may be submitted paperlessly. The Registrar’s Office can accept a request from the Dean, Department Chair or Designee’s UM email account requesting an add, change, or drop by emailing it to graduation@umontana.edu. The student making the request, as well as the designees of the departments the student is dropping and adding must also be included in the email request.

Alternately, you may use the Registrar’s Major/Minor/Option Change Form. Fill out the appropriate information as indicated, and get the required signatures from the department designees of the major you are declaring and from the major you are dropping. The completed form can be returned to the Registrar's Office via email to graduation@umontana.edu with the completed signatures or dropped off at their office in 201 Lommasson Center.

Major/Minor/Option Changes will be effective for the current semester only if submitted during the first 15 days of instruction, otherwise they will be effective for the next semester.

If a student is a non-degree student, apply for admission through the Admissions Office to declare a Major.

If a student is transferring between the UM Mountain Campus & Missoula College, use the Intra-Campus File transfer form instead.

If you are uncertain about which major you want to declare, go to the Exploratory Studies Program or Discover a Major for help with exploring the right major for you. Another helpful resource is the Degrees and Programs website.
