The Major/Minor Change Application is used to request one of the following changes to an academic plan.

• For a major within the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) to change their major to another SEAS major (e.g., change major from mechanical to chemical engineering)
• For a major within SEAS to add a second SEAS major or drop another major or minor (e.g., add the aerospace engineering major while retaining a mechanical engineering major)
• For any major to add or drop a SEAS minor (e.g., add the computer science minor)

Please note that our office processes requests only for majors and minors associated with the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Please contact other advising units for assistance with non-SEAS degree programs (e.g., mathematics, chemistry, physics, management, pharmacy).

The Major/Minor Change Application is not intended for the following student groups:

• Freshman applicants: please see the UB Office of Admissions
• International transfer applicants seeking admission to a SEAS major: please see the UB Office of International Undergraduate Admissions
• Domestic transfer applicants seeking admission to a SEAS major: please see, http://engineering.buffalo.edu/home/academics/undergrad/admissions/transfer.html
• Current non-SEAS UB students seeking admission to a SEAS major: please see, http://engineering.buffalo.edu/home/academics/undergrad/admissions/current.html
• Readmission applicants: students previously enrolled within a SEAS degree program should consult http://engineering.buffalo.edu/home/academics/undergrad/admissions/readmission.html

In order to log in to the application system you will need to have been admitted to the University at Buffalo and have received your UBIT username and password.

The recommended deadline to submit a Major/Minor Change Application for Fall 2024 is August 11, 2024. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to process applications submitted after this date. This application will close at the end of the drop/add period.
