        Declaration of major



        Declaring a major in [name of department or program] requires the

        student to complete a declaration of major form which must be

        signed by the [department chair/program director].  





        Rationale:  Seven departments have adopted formal policies for

        declaration of major.  To promote consistency within the catalog,

        APC proposes that a "generic" policy statement regarding major

        declaration be inserted into the description of the remaining

        programs/departments.
