Major/Minor Requirements

If you have received your degree evaluation and now wish to make changes to previously approved courses, you may need to file a Course Substitution and Waiver form. The form is needed for major/minor courses that are required, however, it may not be necessary for major/minor electives. Contact Degree Evaluations or your major department to determine if the form is needed.
