Is your major correct in ATHENA? You can change you major at any time! To meet with an orientation advisor specializing in your field of study, it is important to make sure your major is correct in Athena. Instructions 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 Click on the large box titled Student Services 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 Additional Tips: It is OK to be Unspecified! The Exploratory Center advises Unspecified students. Common Franklin College majors that will be listed as "Intended" are Art, Art History, Criminal Justice, and Computer Science. Also declare "Intended" for some non-Franklin College majors like Terry College (Business) and Grady College (Journalism) majors. 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. updated 11/20/2024 askfranklin@uga.edu
