Petition to
Declare
Simultaneous
Degrees
Use this form if you are already declared in a major and want to add a second major in a different college. The college in which
you are currently declared is your home college. The college you plan to add is the second college. If you are planning to pursue
majors in two colleges and are not currently in either, consult with your prospective major advisors prior to completing this form.
Instructions (to be completed in the following order):
1. Consult with your home and second colleges for appropriate forms, procedures, eligibility requirements, and
deadlines, and to ensure you can meet both colleges' eligibility requirements.
2. Review the supplemental instructions and eligibility requirements for your home college and second college
listed in the “Supplemental Materials” links below.
3. Request approval and signatures from your home college advisor and current major advisor, if applicable, on all
forms in the packet. Include all supplemental materials, if applicable.
4. Request approval and signature from your intended major advisor, if applicable.
5. Request approval and signature from a college advisor in the second college and leave the petition with the
second college advisor.
6. If approved, the second college will submit your petition via CalCentral. Approved changes to your degree goals
and expected graduation term will be reflected on your CalCentral records within two weeks. Contact the second
college advisor if you do not see any changes after two weeks.
