Roane State Community College

Students may request to change their major/status after the first term of attendance. Change of status or major is not automatic. The new major will be in effect beginning with the next academic term. Students who are on hold with the Financial Aid office for SAP may not be eligible for change of major/status.

Currently enrolled degree or certificate-seeking students may request a change to non-degree status (special student category) once they have: 1) completed all learning support requirements, and/or 2) completed all admission requirements. Exceptions may be requested through the Registrar and will be decided on an individual basis. Special Student Category students are not eligible for federal financial assistance (Federal Pell Grant, Veteran's Benefits, etc.).

To request a Change of Major students should complete the following steps:

1. Review the RSCC academic programs on the RSCC website under the Academic Programs link.
2. Run a DegreeWorks evaluation to learn what requirements you will lack and what requirements you have already met for the new major. You can run the audit from the Degree Evaluation link under Your Records in your Raidernet account.
3. Meet with an advisor or career counselor to discuss your graduation plan and obtain their signature on the form.
4. Sign and submit the completed form with a copy of your program plan for the new major to the One Stop or to the front office of any satellite campus.

NOTE: Students are advised to consult with financial aid sources (VA, WIA, TAA benefits) prior to submitting a change of major to the Admissions/Records Office.
