Procedures for Changing Your Major
Students who want to change from one program of study to another should meet with their academic advisor or counselor. The advisor can discuss the options available and furnish the necessary Petition for Change of Curriculum. This petition should be submitted to the Assessment Center (2195) when completed.
Students should keep their address up to date with the College. There are a number of easy ways to do this. You can change your address by filling out a change of address form that is available either at the Student Records Service area at your preferred college location, on the web site, or by mailing an address correction to the Student Records Office.
Residency Classification for Tuition Purposes
In general, to qualify as a sponsoring student for tuition purposes, the student (or the parent upon whom the student is dependent) must have established a domicile in the sponsoring district and must have maintained continuous residence therein for a period of 3 consecutive months prior to the first day of classes in the semester or session in which sponsoring student status is sought. Individuals who work in a sponsoring area but reside in a non-sponsoring area are not considered sponsoring students for tuition purposes. Residency is established through the production of one of the following:
- A permanent Pennsylvania drivers license with photo.
- A utility bill in the students name.
- A local property tax bill in the students name.
- A pay stub recording the students address.
- A most recent federal tax return listing the student as a dependent.
