Hi! I was admitted to Stony Brook University the other day! When filling out the common app, I put down a major that I was considering at that time. I was accepted into that major. However, my interest of major has changed since then. Are incoming students able to switch majors before starting their first semester? How does choosing what classes you will take work? I know Stony Brook has placement exams involved in that to. Do I need a form to change majors? Thanks in advance!
Depends on what you were admitted into and what you’re changing to, honestly. In May, once all your deposits are in, you’ll get access to the “Advising Planning Form” on SOLAR. There’s a field there for “intended major” – your best bet is probably to list what you want there, so your advisor can guide you when you get to Orientation. Hope this helps!
