Privacy and disclosure pitfalls
Student identification, requested major, requested minor, and effective term may be exposed when the completed form is shared beyond authorized academic staff. Missing consent language or an incomplete electronic-record disclosure can weaken evidence that the signer agreed to use an electronic Change Of Major Declaration Of Minor Form. Broad folder permissions can expose academic information and approval history to staff who do not need access to the declaration. Sending the form to the wrong advisor or registrar can create duplicate approvals, conflicting records, or delays in updating the student information system.
Rules that can limit electronic use
State notarization
Wills and codicils
Court orders
Family-law documents
