Change of Major/Minor Procedures

How to become a Journalism, Communication or Mass Communication Major or Minor:

1. Sign up for an appointment using the sign up sheets outside HHH162,
CJ Intake Adviser, Janet Dreiver.

NOTE: An appointment time may be up to a week after the time of request. PLAN AHEAD.

2. When you meet with the Intake Adviser, bring the following:

• a "What-If" Degree Audit including the new major or minor
• a completed semester-by-semester CJ Plan Form showing all classes that you plan to take to meet your degree requirements. You may get the required form in the department office or by clicking on the link.
• any questions you have about this major or minor

NOTE: While you might think that you cannot complete your Plan Form without help, please do the best you can. Read your degree audit and catalogue information carefully. There also are “advising sheets” in the department office to assist you in completion of your Plan Form.

The chair will review your completed Plan and offer assistance. THE CHAIR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET WITH YOU IF YOU DO NOT BRING THE WHAT-IF DEGREE AUDIT AND A COMPLETED PLAN FORM. A new appointment time will have to be scheduled.

3. After you meet with the chair, the program assistant will add your new major or minor online and assign an adviser for you in Communication and Journalism.
