Declaring your major is quick, simple and one of the easiest ways to get the most out of your university experience.

• Access scholarships and awards
  By declaring a major, you unlock opportunities you simply can’t get otherwise. Departments reserve funding and recognition for their own students. Earn a place on the Dean's List of a scholarship to help with tuition by declaring today!

• Get priority in registration
  Declared students go to the front of the line for courses in their program. It’s the best way to make sure you get into the classes you want, when you need them.

• Find your community
  Build a network of support to help guide you through university. Declaring connects you with professors, staff and classmates who can advise and inspire you.  

• Choose now, change later
  Declaring a major helps you dive into what you love. But it doesn't have to last forever! Lots of HSS students change their major as they find new interests, and we make it easy to make the switch.

For more information about existing major programs, contact one of our departmental Undergraduate Program Director. You can also declare your second required program (minor or second major) when declaring your major.

How to Declare a Major

1. Meet with an HSS Academic Advisor
   They’ll help you explore your options and make sure you’re on track.

2. Choose your major
   Remember, programs in HSS are designed to be flexible, so you can always change majors to align with your interests.

3. Submit your request

   • The quickest way: email registrar@mun.ca from your @MUN account. Include your student number and chosen major (as well as any second mojors or minors).

   • Or, if you prefer, complete the Program of Study Form and drop it off at the Registrar’s Office (A-2003).

And that’s it! Simple, quick and a big step forward in shaping your university experience.
