VCU Undergraduate Admissions

For accepted students

What's next?

Can I change my major after being admitted?

Sure, you can change your major once you have been admitted to the university. If you want to change your major before attending New Student Orientation, an e-mail must be sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions Office at ugrad@vcu.edu stating your full name, date of birth, the program that you were admitted into and the new program for which you wish to be considered.

If you wish to change your major after attending the New Student Orientation, go online to the Student Services Centers Web site at www.enrollment.vcu.edu/rar/records.html. Be sure to read and review procedures for changing your academic programs and complete the Change of Major/Concentration/Minor form and submit it to the Office of Records and Registration in person at 827 W. Franklin St. or by mail to P.O. Box 842520, Richmond, Va. 23280

Please be advised that certain programs — including those in the schools of the Arts, Business, Education, Mass Communications and the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies program — may require a candidate to fulfill additional requirements before authorization into a program is granted.
