Change Your Major
Some students enter Florida Southern with a clear academic direction. However, some students decide to change their major during their academic career.
To change your major and/or advisor, please download and complete an Advisor/Major Change form and submit it to the Registar’s Office. If you are changing your major to athletic training or nursing, you must have the director of ATP or the Dean of Nursing signature.
Advising is an integral part of academic life at FSC. Upon arriving at FSC, each student is assigned to an advisor, who serves as a mentor to help the student develop a plan for success.
