Plan Your Degree
Are you interested in changing your major to CADV or even switching CADV options?
If you have LESS than 90 units, you can easily do this online by following the instructions here: online change of major/minor/option process.
If you have MORE than 90 units, you can still change your major/option but you will have to use the digital Change of Major form located on the Current Students site AND demonstrate in your MAP that your total units will NOT exceed 140 units if you make this change. This electronic form will be routed automatically for approval and processing. Most petitions are reviewed and processed within 7 to 10 business days. Use your Degree Audit Report/Planner as you complete the form. You can visit our CADV Advisement Center located in SQ 293 if you would like assistance completing or submitting the petition.
