To Change Your Major You Must:
Start a 4-year plan for the new major
This allows you to see how your completed coursework will fit into the new degree and help you to determine if this new major is the right one for you before you commit to attending a workshop. If you need help with your 4-year plan or would like some additional insight on the new major, please feel free to meet with any one of our AGNR Peer Mentors.
Contact your new AGNR Academic Department
Contact the AGNR Department that you are planning to go into and make them aware that you intend to declare one of their majors. Some department advisors prefer to meet with students before they attend a workshop while some prefer to meet after; it's up to you to determine which steps your new department would like you to take first.
Register for a Change of Major Workshop
Please use this registration form to sign up for a virtual AGNR Change of Major Workshop. You will find the meeting link in the form (again, this will be a virtual meeting).
If you fill out the form and none of the available dates work with your schedule, please contact agnrstudentservices@umd.edu for further assistance.
Attend the Change of Major Workshop
We will take this time to introduce you to the college and its available resources as well as the academic policies that you should be aware of. Use this time to ask questions about AGNR and other general academics but please note that major-specific advising will not be provided at the workshop.
Meet with your new Academic Department for Advising (if you have not already done so)
Contact/meet with the AGNR Department that you are planning to go into and make them aware that you intend to declare one of their majors. Some department advisors prefer to meet with students after their change of major workshop.
