How do I declare a major/minor?
To declare a major, go to the department of choice and fill out the Declaration of Major form. The department will assign you a faculty adviser to monitor your progress in your major up to graduation. You will receive priority within your class at pre-registration for courses in your major.
A minor is declared by the same process as a major. Note: Priority during preregistration is not granted for a minor.

A total of 132 credit hours are required. Of that, 128 must be academic credits, and 4 must be P.E. credits. See also the General Education Requirements (GER).
What is the Course Atlas? What is the Registrar's Schedule of Courses?
The Course Atlas is a listing compiled each semester of courses offered and their general descriptions. See also the Registrar's Schedule of Courses for the official listing of course sections, instructors, times, dates, and locations. These two documents are typically used together to plan an individual course schedule.

How do I change my schedule of classes?
You may change your courses via Emory's web-based student system, OPUS (Online Pathway to University Students). Once you are assigned a login ID and password from University Technology Services (UTS) at Cox Hall Computing Center, you may access your OPUS account and, from there, change your schedule. For more information, contact Cox Computing Center at 404-727-7549 or the UTS Customer Support Center at 404-727-7777.
What are the deadlines for changing classes and how do I keep up with them?
The deadline for dropping or adding a class is the 9th day of the term. To choose between GRD (letter grade) or SUS (satisfactory/unsatisfactory), the deadline is the 23rd day of the term. The deadline for course withdrawals is also the 23rd day of the term. These deadlines are counted including weekends. See also the Academic Calendar.
What is GRD and SUS?
GRD = Letter Grade. SUS = Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.
What is an incomplete?
An "incomplete" is a course on which you are missing a final exam, paper or other assignment. In order to make up the missing work, you must request an incomplete through the Emory College Office for Undergraduate Education by calling 404-727-6069 to set up an appointment. If an incomplete is not requested, your letter grade will be factored accordingly.
What is academic probation?
At the end of any grading period, a student whose cumulative or senior GPA is less than 2.0 will incur academic probation. In any one semester, a student who fails to pass two thirds of the hours taken or to attain at least a 1.5 GPA will have probationary status regardless of any previous average. Probationary status may be incurred at midterm but may be removed only at the end of a semester.
Who can I contact for answers to my other questions?
Please feel free to contact us in Office for Undergraduate Education at 404-727-6069 or send us email at college@emory.edu.
How do I retain an Emory Post Office box?
An Emory Post Office Box should be retained by each College student, even though a student may live off-campus after their freshman year. Important information is sent to the post office boxes throughout a student's college career. Senior degree audits are mailed ONLY to students post office boxes. Commencement information is sent to students post offices boxes during their senior year.
What are Degree Audits?
Degree summaries are mailed to Emory College Seniors during fall semester of their senior year. The degree summary details their academic progress. The degree summaries or audits are used to review their degree application. You must apply for graduation at the beginning of the semester in which you wish to graduate.
How many academic credits are needed to graduate?
A student must complete a minimum 128 academic credits hours and 4 PE credits in order to graduate. PE credits (except those that begin with the prefix "DANC") may NOT be used toward academic credit, even if a student has taken more than four. Oxford continuees and transfer students need to meet residency requirements as specified in the college catalog.
How do I submit a degree application?
A student must apply to graduate by the date listed in the academic calendar during their final semester. Spring degree candidate who apply for their degrees after the due date listed in the academic calendar will not receive their diplomas at Commencement, nor will their names appear in the Commencement bulletin. A student may withdraw a degree application from consideration at any time prior to the last day of the semester.
