Declaring the Major or Minor

PLEASE NOTE:  All students must complete Econ 1 and Econ 2 (or the equivalent) and meet the required combined 2.8 GPA before declaring the major or minor.  We encourage students to declare the major or minor as soon as they have completed this requirement.

  1. Print a Petition for Major/Minor Declaration and Academic Planning Form.  Be sure to indicate your expected graduation term (EGT) on the petition.  Your EGT can be found in your Student Advising Summary on your MyUCSC Student Portal.
  2. Bring verification of your grades in Econ 1 and Econ 2 (print out an unofficial copy from your student portal).
  3. Attend a Declaration of Major Advising Session.
