Students are expected to declare a major program of study during their fourth semester of enrollment in order to register for future semesters. This ensures that students are receiving academic advising from a faculty member in their chosen major program of study. In addition, this helps departments predict course enrollment and demand, as well as plan for comprehensive exams each semester. View more information on major declaration here.
