How to change your academic programs in ATHENA:
- Majors: Always add the “Intended” version of a major if one is listed. Add your new major first then delete your old major.
- Log into Athena
- Select Student
- Select Student & Registration
- Select My Programs
- To add a major:
- Select Add Major
- Select your new major from the dropdown menu (Always add the “Intended” version of a major if one is listed.)
- Select Next, then Confirm
- The new major will now appear under My Majors
- To remove a major:
- Select Remove Major
- Select the major you wish to remove from the dropdown menu
- Select Next, then Confirm
- The major will no longer appear under My Majors
- Minors: If the minor you want to add is not listed, check the following conditions.
- Changing a major to a minor? Drop the minor first, then add the major.
- Some fine arts minors require application before they can be added. Contact the department for more information.
Trouble-shooting
- If the major or minor you declare requires approval, this will prevent any further changes until the approval is granted. If you get "stuck" you can cancel the request that needs approval, perform the other actions, and then resubmit the request that needs approval.
- Athena works best in Chrome, Safari and Firefox.
- Any problems or issues accessing Athena or making adjustments to your academic programs should be directed to the Office of the Registrar, (706) 542-4040.
