Undeclared

Students who are still determining what major options fit them best have the option to be “Undeclared” while at Cal Poly Humboldt. Every semester hundreds of students choose to take advantage of this option. Being Undeclared gives you the support and encouragement to explore your values, interests and goals as they relate to you personally, academically, and professionally. By doing this you can identify, and declare with confidence, the best major fit for you.

As an Undeclared student, you will receive academic advising from a full-time professional advisor. Whether you are narrowing down your many interests, deciding between a few main interests, or discovering your interests, you will be guided, encouraged, and supported through your exploration by your academic advisor from the Academic Advising Center (AAC).

While Undeclared, you have an excellent opportunity to make progress towards your degree by completing general education and other all-university requirements. Students at Cal Poly Humboldt must declare a major by the time they have earned 45 semester units. Learn more about being undeclared on the Undeclared Resources webpage.

Undeclared MAPs represent possible pathways to take while determining the degree path you’d like to take. Please work with your Advisor. Humboldt requires students to declare a major once you have earned 45 units. If you have not declared by completion of 45 earned units, a “Must Declare” hold will show up on your student center and you must declare a major before you can register for the following semester.
