An F-1 student who is currently maintaining status and making normal progress toward completing their educational objective, but who has changed their academic major, must submit an I-20 Change of Major form to receive their Form I-20 with the updated major. Students may not choose a degree plan in which the major coursework is exclusively online (Marketing, International Business, Real Estate, etc). ACC F-1 visa students must submit their I-20 Change of Major form within 10 days of changing their major.

Submit the following documents to the International Student Office for a Change of Major:

• I-20 Change of Major form (must be completed with an Area of Study advisor).
• Degree audit and completion estimate (created by an Area of Study advisor).

I-20 Change of Major requests may be submitted to the International Student Office (ISO) to international@austincc.edu. However, the ISO may request them to be submitted in person. Documents must be clean, clear, and legible. Requests are reviewed by the ISO and the student is notified via email upon completion. Allow five (5) business days for processing of updated I-20.

Second Major Request

If the courses in your declared major are primarily online, you may have to add a second major to your I-20 in order to meet the 75% (9 of 12 credit hours) face-to-face/hybrid hour requirement.

Submit the following documents to the International Student Office to Request a Second Major:

• I-20 Second Major Request form (must be completed with an Area of Study advisor).
• Degree audit and completion estimate (created by an Area of Study advisor).

I-20 Second Major requests may be submitted to the International Student Office (ISO) to international@austincc.edu. However, the ISO may request them to be submitted in person.
