What this academic change form does

This form records a student’s request to change an academic program, major, minor, or catalog year and routes it for institutional approval. The student identifies the requested academic change, while advisors, department reviewers, and registrar staff confirm that the request matches applicable degree requirements and enrollment records. With signNow, an institution can upload its version of the form, auto-detect fillable fields, assign student and approver roles, send the request electronically, and store the completed document with an audit trail. The institution must apply its own FERPA, curriculum, and records policies.

Who uses this academic change form

Students

Students submit requests to change an academic program, major, minor, or catalog year, including the academic details needed for institutional review.

Academic offices

Advising and registrar offices route approvals, verify degree-plan effects, and retain the signed request with access limited under institutional FERPA policy.

Who benefits from this academic change form

  • Academic advisors use this form to record a student’s move between programs, majors, minors, or catalog years. They verify the requested academic path, route approvals to the right department, and preserve a signed record for advising and enrollment offices.
  • Registrar and enrollment teams use the form to document approved curriculum changes after reviewing degree requirements. signNow lets them send the completed request to designated approvers, capture signatures, and retain the final record with its audit trail.

Platform requirements for academic forms

Complete this academic change request in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge on Windows or macOS. signNow mobile apps support iOS and Android, while encrypted connections use TLS.

  • Browser support Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge
  • Desktop systems Windows and macOS desktops
  • Mobile systems iOS and Android mobile apps

Institutions should use managed Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android devices when student records require controlled access. Configure signNow permissions, SSO provisioning, and API connections according to institutional security policy. FERPA obligations remain with the educational institution, including access controls, disclosure decisions, and record retention.

Privacy and disclosure pitfalls to avoid

  • Including unnecessary student identifiers can expose education records beyond the advisors, department reviewers, and registrar staff who need access.
  • A missing consent statement may leave the institution unable to show that the student agreed to electronic delivery and signing.
  • Sending the request to the wrong department can expose academic plans and delay approval of the requested program or catalog-year change.
  • Shared credentials or unmanaged signing links weaken attribution and make it harder to confirm which authorized person approved the change.

Record-keeping practices for academic changes

Retention and access decisions should follow the institution’s FERPA policy, records schedule, state requirements, and the academic purpose of this form.

Apply the institutional retention schedule

Apply the institution’s approved retention schedule to the signed academic change form and completion certificate. FERPA does not establish one universal retention period for every education record, so the registrar should follow applicable institutional and state requirements.

Preserve the audit evidence

Export the audit trail with the completed request when institutional policy requires independent preservation. Keep the student’s requested change, approval sequence, timestamps, and completion evidence together for later academic-record review.

Limit access by academic role

Restrict access to advisors, department reviewers, and registrar staff with a documented need to know. Review shared templates and delegated sending permissions before each catalog-year cycle begins.

Archive the final record

Store the final document in the institution’s approved records repository rather than relying only on an individual sender’s workspace. Test retrieval using the student identifier permitted by institutional policy.

Troubleshooting academic change requests

Resolve field, routing, authentication, plan, and education-record questions before the request reaches final approval.

Upload the institution’s current Changes Of Program, Major, Minor, Or Catalog Year Bpc Edu document, then review signNow’s detected fields before sending. Detection does not verify academic requirements, catalog-year eligibility, or institutional policy, so an advisor or registrar must check those details manually.

Use signNow recipient roles and routing to assign the student, advisor, department reviewer, or registrar separately. The Business plan includes templates and audit trails; Business Premium adds bulk send when the institution distributes the same approved request to multiple recipients.

For consumer-facing electronic records, ESIGN requires consent, access to the electronic record, and disclosure of the right to receive paper. Institutions should present applicable consent language before signing and follow FERPA access and disclosure policies for education records.

Business includes legally binding eSignatures, audit trails, templates, and mobile apps at $8 per user per month when billed annually. The plan includes 100 signature invites per user per year; additional invite charges may apply.

Use two-factor authentication, SMS OTP, or stronger identity verification when institutional policy requires more than email attribution. signNow supports authentication controls, but the institution must determine the assurance level appropriate for the student record.

signNow provides TLS 1.2/1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001 certification. FERPA compliance still depends on institutional access controls, disclosures, retention, and agreements governing the education record.
