Begin the Major Change Process

You will be provided access to the following list of tasks; all tasks must be completed before your request can be reviewed.

1. Read the LTSC requirements and confirm that you have read and understand them.
2. View the LTSC Advising Presentation and confirm that this step has been completed.
3. Complete the LTSC Advising Presentation Quiz and confirm that this has been submitted.
4. Complete the LTSC Advising Agreement and 2-Semester-Plan and confirm that these have been submitted.

Once all steps are completed, an LTSC Advisor will review your materials and contact you to let you know if there are any issues, or if your change of major has been processed.

After the change of major is processed, students may use Drop-In Advising or email askltsc@umd.edu for advising assistance until they are assigned to an advisor. Students will be provided with additional details on advisor assignment via email.
