Making Changes to Your Undergraduate Program
Undergraduate students can make changes to their program, request registration time tickets, transfer to a different Laurier campus, and request to switch from part-time to full-time studies.
Changing or Updating Your Program
If you’re an undergraduate student looking to make changes to your program (Faculty, Major(s), Minor/Option, Concentration/Specialization, etc.), there are three methods depending on the program you are requesting and when.
*Open to all (excludes highly competitive programs)
**Only open to those requesting highly competitive programs
During March and April, you have the ability to change your future program in LORIS by selecting the "Student Services" tab, then "Program Change Request." You may also declare a minor, option and/or concentration through the LORIS method. This is the preferred way to request program changes and updates.
Our records specialists will review your request during May and June to determine your eligibility. If you are not eligible for your requested program, your record will be revised.
To see if your program change request has been approved, please review your academic progression decision in LORIS under the Unofficial Record of Course Work section, or once grades have been made official, under the Official Final Grades section.
Students who are unsure of program requirements, or require assistance, should contact their academic advisor.
Be advised, this option is not avaliable to students requesting highly competitive programs.
The program selection form is open from June-April for students who wish to change their current program when the Program Change option on LORIS is closed or unavailable. This online form allows you to request a change to your program, such as add or remove a Major, and add or remove Minors, Options, Concentrations, and Specializations.
Once you have submitted a program selection form, your eligibility will be reviewed and if approved, you may view your updated program in LORIS within seven business days. Due to the volume of requests received, we do not reply to each request submitted; you will only be contacted if there is an issue with your request.

- Arts and Luther Program Selection Form
