University College students use AppalNET to officially declare their major.

  1. Go to AppalNET Self-Service.Log into Self-Service
  2. Select "Log into Student Self-Service."
  3. Select the "Student" tab.
  4. Select "Student Self-Service."
  5. Click on "Student Records."
  6. Click on "Declare Your Major."
  7. Follow the instructions and click SUBMIT.

If you get an error message that you need to SELECT YOUR GEN ED THEMES, here's how. 

You will be notified via email once your records have been processed.

After major declaration, your records will be moved to your new College and Department and you will no longer have an assigned advisor in University College. You may be able to find your new advisor's name listed at the top of your DegreeWorks audit.

If you are not eligible to declare, you will get an error message. If you are unclear why you were unable to declare, contact your University College advisor (listed in DegreeWorks) or call the UC Advising Office at 828-262-2167.
