Undergraduate Forms

All requests are reviewed by SOJC Student Services at least once a week. The Undergraduate Program Coordinator will email you confirming your request has been reviewed. If approved, your request will then be sent on to the registrar’s office. It can take 10-15 business days for the new major/minor to appear on DuckWeb. Please plan accordingly.

Major Forms

Step 1: Apply for “pre-major” status

Application includes your choice of Pre-Advertising, Pre-Journalism, Pre-Media Studies and Pre-Public Relations. A minimum UO GPA of 2.00 is required.

Step 2: Apply for “full major” status

This application for full major status in Advertising, Journalism, Media Studies and/or Public Relations is due the last day of the term you complete your final pre-major requirement(s). The application will remain pending until grades are released. To be accepted to the SOJC, you need to complete the pre-journalism core classes and have at least a 2.90 UO GPA. If you do not meet the GPA requirement, you can petition for full major status.
