Requested Program/Major

You will automatically be readmitted into your last active major. If your major is no longer available, you will be placed into the closest equivalent program. If your request for readmission into your former major is denied, we will notify you at the email address you provided. Please note that for some majors, readmission applications are reviewed by individual academic departments. This process may result in delays in decision-making. If you would like to see what your last active major was at West Chester University, please contact the IS&T Help Desk at (610) 436-3350 to request a temporary reactivation of your WCU credentials. This temporary access allows you to log in to the Student Resources Page, where you can view your Unofficial Transcript, which lists your last active major. You may request a change of major starting on the first day of your readmission term through your RamPortal account. Once reactivated, you can also use the Degree Audit: What If tool to explore how your completed, in-progress, or planned courses would apply to different academic programs.
