Office of Immigration Services Declaring or Changing Major(s)

On the first page of your I-20/DS-2019, you'll find your major(s) and corresponding code(s) listed. The Office of Immigration Services (OIS) reviews international students' majors at the beginning of each semester to check for changes that should be reflected on their I-20s/DS-2019s. If you have declared or changed your major, you can expect to have an updated I-20/DS-2019 issued within the first month of the next semester to reflect your new major.

If, for any reason, you need an academic update reflected on your I-20/DS-2019 sooner or at another point in the semester, please visit us during advising hours or email us to discuss the issuance of an updated immigration document. The new major(s) must be formally declared and visible in your academic record before they can be listed on your immigration document.
