Declaring The Minor: 

  1. For CAS students: Declaration of Minor Form
  2. For Non-CAS students:
  • Apply for a minor in Albert using the link in the My Academics section of the Student Center. 
  • When you submit an application, it will be reviewed by both your home school and the minor school (for cross-school minors). If it is approved, the minor will appear on your transcript.
  • Please follow-up with your home school if the minor is not posted after two weeks of submitting your declaration request.
