Many students change majors, but it may take you longer to graduate if you do.
At Indian River State College, students are free to change majors at any time. Once you make the decision to change majors you are required to speak with an academic adviser at the Office of Student Affairs. Your adviser will help you determine whether or not a new career path is right for you and whether or not your current credits can be applied to a degree in your new major. Some majors require you take specific prerequisites, which means you may have to take additional courses before you can begin working on your new degree.
Instructions
1. Visit the IRSC Office of Student Affairs Monday to Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during fall and spring semesters. The office is open Monday to Thursday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. during the summer semesters.
2. Inform the receptionist you want to speak with an academic adviser. You might be asked to make an appointment to come back and speak to your adviser if she is not currently available.
3. Speak with your adviser about your decision to change majors. Your adviser will let you know what, if any, additional prerequisite classes you must take and help you set up a schedule to work toward graduating with your new degree. She will also change your major in IRSC's internal database.
