How do I officially change my major?

Any student who is currently enrolled in the University College must change their major with their University College advisor. Contact the University College for specific information regarding the declaration of your major at (910) 962-3245 or UC@uncw.edu
Other Currently Enrolled Students
All other degree-seeking students must complete the "Program Changes " form in the Registrar's Office located in James Hall. The "Program Changes" form will also allow students to add or change concentrations and options in the Registrar's Office. The only exception is for students changing from one department in a professional school to another department in the same school or changing from "Pre-major" status to admission into the school (i.e. School of Business, School of Education and School of Nursing).
New Transfer Students and New Re-enrolling Students
Students who have been accepted to UNC Wilmington, but have not registered, must fill out a major change form with the Office of Admissions or contact them at admissions@uncw.edu.
