Loyola College gives no assurance that students who change majors will be able to fulfill degree requirements within four years.  Students are responsible for making certain that all degree requirements have been completed.  
Students can access major worksheets to review the requirements for the majors in which they are interestered.  These worksheets can assist the students in their decision making and degree planning regarding their possible new major.  These worksheets should be used only as a tool for the student and should not take the place of consulting with appropriate advisors.
