Isenberg students in the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree program may declare one of Isenberg's five majors when they start their first semester. Upon declaring a major, students will be assigned a faculty mentor within their respective academic department.
If you are uncertain of which major to declare, please utilize the many resources available to you as an Isenberg student. Students may also find it beneficial to contact the department and request to speak with a faculty mentor.

Major declaration will begin the week after add drop ends for both fall and spring semesters. Students have a two week window to declare their major.
An email from the Isenberg Undergraduate Programs Office will provide detailed information that will assist you if you decide to declare you major. Students are welcome to stop by the Isenberg Undergraduate Programs Office and declare their major on our kiosk during the major declaration timeframe.
You are not required to declare your major during your first academic year. Until you declare your major you will continue to receive major declaration information. If you choose to declare your major and change your mind it is very simple to change your major. Just stop by the Isenberg Undergraduate Programs Office in Isenberg N230 (starting January 2019).

The Late Course Withdrawal Petition is for Isenberg students to request to drop a course after the add/drop period. Before the mid-semester date, these petitions are considered for a "No Record" drop (no grade shows on transcript, course does not show on transcript, GPA is not affected). After the mid-semester date, petitions are considered for a "W" drop (course shows on transcript with a "W" as the course grade, GPA is not affected).
The Pass/Fail Petition Form is for Isenberg students to request a course to be changed from letter grading to pass/fail after the mid-semester date. During the add/drop period students can make the change via SPIRE. Between add/drop and the mid-semester date students will need to fill out a course change form with the Registrar's Office in 209 Whitmore.
