Notice to Change of Major Students

Change of Major requirements are subject to change without notice between academic years.

It is your responsibility, as the student, to stay engaged with change of major materials and resources every semester. 

You must complete the change of major application process to be considered for any change of major to or within the College of Science. 

Change of Major Advising

You must be logged in to your SJSU student Google account to access the following resources.

Review the requirements:

We advise students review change of major materials every semester and meet with an advisor to verify their personal pathway towards applying for a change of major.

College of Science students must complete the “Intent to Change Majors Google Form” to express their interest in pursuing a change of major every semester until they have successfully been accepted to the new major for hold removal. 

Students on Progress Notice are subject to disqualification in the major. See the College of Science Academic Notice policy [pdf] for more information.

This service has been paused and will reopen August 2025.

Schedule an appointment through Spartan Connect and meet with an advisor to discuss the Change of Major requirements and application process.

Read the Spartan Connect Student Self-Service Appointment Scheduling Guide to learn how to schedule your appointment.

Apply to a Mathematics and Statistics Major

Evaluate your eligibility based on current admission criteria before applying to a major within the Biological Sciences Department.

Submit your application by the term's deadline. Submitting a Change of Major Application does not automatically result in admittance to the major.
