Graduate students will use this form to request a change of major or level.
Graduate Education requires the Change of Major/Level form to be completed in DocuSign.
Contact your current advisor if you need assistance completing the form.
Step 1: Your current major advisor or department coordinator must approve the document first.

Step 2: After adding the appropriate DocuSign recipients, click SEND. You are the first recipient and can work within your DocuSign account or you can use the emailed document link to add information to the document.
