Change of Major
F-1 and J-1 international students are responsible for ensuring information on their I-20 or DS-2019 is accurate and up-to-date.
For changes in major, F-1 students should request a new document by completing the Change of Major form in iStart. This form is only for F-1 students because typically J-1 students cannot change their major since this is considered a change in program objective.
Your I-20 or DS-2019 must reflect accurate information. You should request a new I-20 or DS-2019 in iStart if you notice a mistake or if there is a change in any of the following information:
- Academic major
- Name
- Date of birth
- Passport country
- Primary source of funding
