Additional credit hours could indicate a major, second minor, or certificate. A minimum of 120 credit hours is required to graduate.   

An undergraduate student should initiate a Change of Academic Program if they wish to add or remove a minor. 

The student obtains a Change of Academic Program form from the Registrar's Office or the department of the new major/minor, secures the signature of the department chair/director (or dean) of any major/minor to be added, and returns the form to the Registrar's Office for processing. 

A student must submit the completed form by the Thursday before priority registration if the change is to be made within the current semester. Unless granted a waiver by the department of the new major, the student must meet all current program requirements for graduation.
