Declare Your Major

1. Visit the department of your choice. See all academic programs.
2. Fill out a Major Declaration Form here with an advisor in your department. Complete the form online, before printing, with:
   • Your name, EWUID and the date
   • Your major declaration status:
     • First-Time Declaration,
     • Adding Second Major, or
     • Changing Majors
   • Select your major from the drop-down list of majors
   • Select any minors that you'd like to add at this time
3. Print the Major Declaration Form and sign it. Then have your departmental advisor fill in their information and sign it.
4. The completed Major Declaration Form with appropriate signatures should be sent directly from the approving department to Records and Registration, Sutton 201, or faxed to 509.359.6153.

When you declare your major you may also declare one or more minors. Signatures are not required if you are only declaring a minor.

If you are declaring a certificate program, you must declare your major program at the same time. You will need to complete and submit two separate Major Declaration Forms—one for each program. Certificate programs are listed in the Major drop-down list. You do not need a signature from the faculty advisor of the certificate program.

Students wishing to declare more than one major must meet with each major department and submit a Major Declaration Form for each major.

Please note that some majors require an application and/or admission to the program prior to official major declaration. Please contact your major department directly to inquire about additional requirements.

The term you declare your major or minor (your Catalog Term) determines the requirements of that major or minor.

After the 10th day of each summer quarter, students will be declared in the catalog for the following fall. For example, a student whose major declaration form is submitted after the 10th day of summer 2018 will have a Catalog Term of fall 2018.
