Declaring a major
UIC students are required to select their 1st major from within their division at the end of the second semester.
Changing a major: within UIC
Change to a Major Outside the Division
- In principle, students cannot change their major to a major outside of the division in UIC. In other words, students cannot transfer to a different major outside of their division within UIC. In order to change to a major outside of their division, the student has to go through freshman admission.
Change to a Major Within the Division
- A change in major affiliation, when approved, may not become effective until the beginning of the next semester.
- Changing a major is allowed only once. Switching to a major outside of the division to which the student was initially admitted is prohibited.
