Academic Matters Section:

Changes:

• Effective starting Fall 2022. Added to addendum 01/04/2023. The Change of Declared Program after Census information was added to the catalog:

The deadline to change a primary declared program of study for a semester is the 15-week census (drop) date. If a student needs to change their primary program of study after the census date has passed, the changes are effective for the next semester unless the criteria below is met.

To change a declared program, students can complete the Change my Declared Degree Program form on The Rock, or email Student.Records@rrcc.edu from their RRCC student issued email account. Completing other forms, such as the graduation application, transfer credit evaluation form, etc. does not update a student’s declared program.

If a request is received after the 15-week census date, Student Records will review the following to determine if the change of declared program can be updated for the current term or the next semester:

1. If the change of declared program request is submitted prior to the student’s first census date, Student Records can make updates to the primary program for the current term.

2. Student Records can update a secondary program post-census if the following criteria is met:

a. The student will be completing all course requirements for the secondary program by the end of the semester in which the program change is requested, and they are eligible for graduation, and

b. The total credit length of the program being added is equal to or less than their primary program, and

c. The student has applied for graduation by the graduation deadline for the semester in which they would like to add the secondary program.

3. All primary and secondary program requests need to be submitted by the end of the 15-week full term semester.
