Declare a Major in CAS

Current CAS Students looking to declare or change their major

Body

You can declare a major through your myUVM portal by selecting “In Your College/School” on the “Change or Declare Major/Minor” tile. This link will take you to a short form to complete. Please allow 1-2 business days to see these changes reflected on your degree audit.

Students looking to transfer into CAS from another college at UVM

Body

Please review the internal transfer guidelines. Once you have confirmed that you meet the requirements, you can initiate the internal transfer process through your myUVM portal by selecting “In Another College/School” under the “Change or Declare Major/Minor” tile. 

Once we review your request, our office will reach out via email to confirm whether your request has been approved. 

Note: students in CEMS, CNHS, and GSB who wish to transfer into CAS can only be accepted for the current semester before the add/drop period is over. After add/drop, students in these colleges will be accepted for the following semester.

Students looking to declare a dual degree with a CAS major

Body

A dual degree involves completing requirements for two separate UVM degrees simultaneously. Requirements will overlap where possible (e.g. you only need to complete one set of Catamount Core requirements).  

Please review the internal transfer guidelines. Once you have confirmed that you meet the requirements, you can initiate the dual degree process through your myUVM portal by selecting “In Another College/School” under the “Change or Declare Major/Minor” tile. 

Students who wish to dual degree within the College of Arts and Sciences are required to meet with an advisor prior to approval. After submitting the above form, our office will be in touch with you via email to schedule this appointment.

Students looking to declare a co-major in CAS

Body

Pursuing a co-major in CAS does not require you to transfer into the College of Arts and Sciences. We suggest that you make an appointment with an advisor in your home college to discuss how a co-major might fit in with your existing degree requirements. You can find more information on the Co-Majors page. 

The College of Arts and Sciences offers co-majors in Chinese, Classics, French, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish.
