Major Declaration

How to Declare Your Major

To declare your major, you will use the Planner feature in Stellic to create a four-year plan that outlines how you’ll meet your Trinity and major (minor and certificate) requirements.

Follow the instructions below, and you can also view a Stellic Help Guide for more information.

Image	Step 1 Log into Stellic and select Plan Your Path.
Image	Step 2 Click on the Add program to plan button to select your intended primary major (either AB or BS). Next click the Plus sign button next to your major and then confirm your choice with the OK button. If you are planning to double major, or add a minor or certificate, repeat this step to add those. You can refer to this guide for additional guidance.
Image Image	Step 3 Drag and drop specific courses or general education requirements to your Planner to map out your remaining semesters. Click the Refresh icon under the Progress tab, to update your plan after making changes.
Image	Step 4 You can find courses via the Search Courses tab, or find courses that fulfill requirements under the Progress tab.
Image	Step 5 If a major has concentrations, you can select one by selecting Not in Plan, and then Add Concentration. Select OK to add the concentration.
Image Image	Step 6 When you’ve finished assigning your remaining requirements to future semesters, confirm that all your requirements are satisfied by selecting Track Progress, and then select the Planned audit under the Progress menu. This audit shows all your completed, registered, and planned courses, and the icons should be green and yellow, but not red. If there are items in red, go back to your Planner to add the missing courses. You can use this symbol guide to interpret the audit.
Image	Step 7 Next, you need to generate a PDF of your plan. Scroll up to the top of the page and click the printer icon to download a PDF of your plan. Make sure the format is set to Standard, the version is Planned, and all of the programs you want included are selected. Select the Create Audit Report button, and then name and save your PDF. You will attach a copy of this document to your Major Declaration Form.
Image	Step 8 Go to the Major Declaration tab in DukeHub (under Academics) and follow the instructions. Step one takes you to the Major Declaration form where you will upload your four-year plan PDF. After you complete your four-year plan, and complete the Major Declaration Form, you will complete the Pre-Major Advising survey. Your advisor will be notified that you are ready to declare your major, and they will reach out to you to schedule a meeting. After this meeting you will receive an email notification once your major declaration has been processed.
Image	Step 9 What if you change your mind? After your major is initially declared, you can change your major, and add minors and certificates, with the Academic Plan Change form.
