Incoming freshmen interested in switching to Pre-Nursing: You will need to be Undeclared until you meet the requirements to switch to Pre-Nursing. Students interested in switching to Pre-Nursing will complete the Major Change Form on the University Center for Undergraduate Advising (UCUA) website.

Incoming transfers interested in switching to Nursing or Social Work: Unfortunately, you cannot change your major. Both programs require supplemental applications that were due when you applied to the university. Admission to the programs is closed. You are not eligible to pursue the Nursing or Social Work Bachelor's program if you were not admitted to the university as a transfer directly into that program. We encourage you to explore graduate programs in these fields after you complete your Bachelor's degree at CSULB.

• Alternate Nursing Pathways
• Master of Social Work (MSW) Program 

If you are changing your major into a program within CHHS, please complete our Degree Objective Change Form. If you are changing your major into a program outside of CHHS, please find the advising center for your intended major and follow their process to change your major.

Submit an Online Admissions Ticket to confirm you no longer plan to attend CSULB.

New students can talk with an Advisor on your Assigned Advising & Registration date. You'll receive a Zoom link in the email we send with your Fall course schedule. Check the "Advising & Registration Process" info above for more details.
