Drop an Existing Undergraduate Certificate
The change of college form allows you to make certain changes to your education, such as changing, adding, or dropping a major, minor, or certificate. Please read the following Drop an Existing Undergraduate Certificate instructions carefully, before starting your application.

Students currently pursuing an undergraduate certificate who wish to no longer pursue that certificate credential should sumbit a request to drop an existing undergraduate certificate. Note: Drop requests reflect at the conclusion of the semester.
