If you've already applied for admission and/or been admitted, you can update your major by going to wichita.edu/update.
If you have not enrolled, please click here to find out how to change your major (Undergraduate and Graduate students).
If you are a currently enrolled student, you are allowed to change your major or minor up to three (3) times per semester. To do so, or to add or drop a minor, please follow these steps:
- Log into your myWSU portal
- Go to the Home tab
- Click on Change My Major/Minor located in the Student Tools box
Note: Changes to your major or minor may take up to three business days. You will receive a confirmation email when completed.
If you are graduating in the current semester and are enrolled for the upcoming semester, you should receive a letter indicating that you need to change your major. You will need to follow the steps above and choose a new major. If you do not complete this step, you will automatically be changed to a non-degree bound status which can affect financial aid, however, you will not be dropped from your courses.
