How To Declare

Declaring minor in writing is an important step in establishing your student record. Undergraduate students who wish to wish to add the Music Minor should use the Change of Major, Minor, or Concentration Form available on the MyCompass forms website. The form will be routed electronically to the appropriate department for approval and then to Registrar’s for processing. Once a form is submitted online a student can view the status of their electronic form submission by selecting the “Submitted Forms” tab on the MyCompass forms website.

Make sure you contact the Department of Music before you start the process of declaring the Music Minor:
