Declaring Your Major

Major Declaration

Students must declare a major or file an IPS plan by the end of their fourth semester. First-year students may not declare a major in their first two semesters of enrollment at the College. The earliest they may do so is after the end of their second semester of enrollment. Transfer students admitted with sophomore standing or higher may declare a major upon their matriculation at HMC. 3/2 dual-degree transfer students are automatically declared engineering majors at the time of matriculation at HMC.

When you are ready to declare your HMC major please submit the Major or Major Option Declaration/Change Form (Google Form).
