Changing Your Major
Requests to change or declare a major should start with your current Faculty Advisor. Final approval will come from the division Dean responsible for the new program or that Dean’s designee. The Dean will notify the appropriate Academic Specialist in the Registrar’s office of the change of major.
Students who wish to change majors after being accepted and before the end of the first week of classes must contact the Office of Admissions rather than the Registrar’s Office.

Adding a Minor
After discussions with advisors, students may wish to select a minor from those available across all academic units. Students wishing to select a minor will do so using this online form.
It should be understood that the selection of a minor may extend the time needed to fulfill all course requirements, unless the minor is required.
Graduation Honors: Latin distinctions are given to graduating undergraduate students with the following minimum cumulative grade point averages:
Summa Cum Laude: | 3.80 Average GPA |
Magna Cum Laude: | 3.65 Average GPA |
Cum Laude: | 3.50 Average GPA |
Divisions may award additional honors recognizing academic, service and career development achievements. Conduct records may be accessed in the determination of these awards.
To be considered full-time, a student must enroll in courses totaling at least 12 credit hours per 15-week semester. Students making changes that affect their full-time status should first check with the Financial Aid Office to determine the effect of such changes on aid eligibility.
Students who petition to change their Legal Name on their academic record (such as transcript) must complete a form and present legal documentation of the name change.
NOTE: This is different from a Chosen Name, which Champlain College allows students to use while enrolled at the College.
Approved students may take up to 9 credits at the graduate level toward completion of their undergraduate degree that may also be applied toward completion of a graduate program. Students who wish to pursue enrollment in a graduate program must apply for admission no sooner than the final semester of their undergraduate degree program.
Students may retake a course up to two times, for a total of three attempts, in order to pass the course or improve their grade in the course. Course withdrawals are counted as attempts.
Students may not repeat the course simply to improve a grade if a more advanced course in the sequence has already been completed.
Credit for the course will be granted only once (unless otherwise specified), and the highest grade received will be counted toward the cumulative GPA. All grades received for a course will remain on the transcript, even though only the highest will be used in the calculation of the cumulative GPA.
Some students will encounter registration holds on their records. This means the college needs them to do something in order to register for classes. Registration hold information is communicated in a banner in the Student Planning module of Self Service. Your Academic Specialist will help you understand the holds and connect you to the offices you need to work with to resolve them.
Champlain College offers non‐degree admission to students who wish to take undergraduate courses without pursuing an undergraduate degree. Complete the Non-Degree Registration Form to begin registration.
