Students wishing to change their major are encouraged to speak with their academic advisor and Student Life & Advising Officer before submitting an application. To apply for a change of major, the following steps must be completed:
- Submit a “Change of Program” via IN4SIT during the next SIT Admissions period (January to March).
- Students are required to pay an application fee of $16.35 (inclusive of 9% GST) (non-refundable) to SIT.
- Students who applied for change of major should continue their current degree program as per normal, including meeting class registration deadlines.
- If students are applying for a change of major to BFA, students will be contacted by the Institute to submit a portfolio. Please refer to “Additional Requirements by Program” on page 69–70 of the course catalog regarding requirements of the portfolio. Portfolios should be submitted in hard copy or electronic format, as originals will not be returned.
- All transfers will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Students may be required to undergo an interview and/ or written test to assess their suitability for the new program.
- Outcome of the application will be sent to the student via email. Students approved for a change of major will be emailed a Student Enrollment Agreement corresponding to the new program. The student must either sign this agreement electronically through DocuSign or print, sign, and return it to the Registrar’s Office before the change can take effect.
- Before commencement of class registration for the new program, successful applicants would be notified via email to apply for credit exemption and transfer of credit via IN4SIT.
- Upon successful admission into the new program, students are required to apply for a new student card at any SIT Student Services Center with an application fee of $32.70 (inclusive of 9% GST).
