  4. You need to submit your petition to change your major online, located on the Cal Poly Registrar's website: Registrar's Form. Your online form needs to be submitted within one week of attending the meeting.

If you have any concerns regarding our policies, please email FRL_announcement@cpp.edu regarding your situation.
