Request to Postpone/Defer Declaring a MajorĪn exploratory/undeclared/pre-major student may submit a request to defer declaring a major if the student is postponing major declaration because they have yet to complete the prerequisites for the anticipated major. Any undeclared student who does not declare a major within the stipulated period of time will be required to develop an action plan addressing their academic area(s) of interest before the advisor hold will be lifted to enable the student schedule for the next semester. Exception to this policy may be granted to students who are planning to declare a major with highly restrictive admission requirements and may need additional semesters to complete those requirements. Students must be in good academic standing and must meet all admission requirements specified by the program they plan to transfer into.

Transfer students (Internal and External) who are undeclared must declare a major after two semesters of full-time study as an exploratory/undeclared student.

This is most often equivalent to three semesters of full-time study at the University. Undeclared Major Declaration Policy Policy Requirementsįirst year students who entered West Chester University as exploratory/undeclared/pre-major must declare a major at the completion of 45 West Chester University earned credits. Any courses that were initially accepted for transfer credit from another college are subject to re-evaluation by the department to which the student transfers internally. The student must meet the standards for admission to the desired program and obtain approval from the departments involved.

Instructions for this process can be found on the Registrar's website. A student wishing to transfer from one program of study at the University to another program must submit an Academic Plan Change Request through their myWCU.
