Request to Declare a Minor in Chemistry

To request declaration of a Chemistry Minor, please complete the form below.

Please fill out the form below to notify the chemistry department of your intent to minor in chemistry.
The department advisors will be in contact with you regarding your request to minor in chemistry within one week. If you do not hear back after one week please follow up with an email to chemistry@wwu.edu
Chemistry Minor Declarations will not be processed during Phase I Registration. There is no registration benefit to declaring the minor as students are not prioritized nor given overrides to restricted courses; please plan accordingly.
Please note: the more chemistry your major requires, the more difficult it is to complete a chemistry minor as minors are not included in major restrictions for upper-division chemistry courses and you are unable to overlap more than one 4 credit upper-division class between your major and minor.
If your declared major is listed, select your declared major and complete the upper-division chemistry study plan grid.
- Complete the grid to submit your plan of study.
  - If you don't intend to enroll or apply a course to your minor, select "N/A."
  - If you plan to apply a course to your major, select "To Major."
If you have questions or concerns about what courses to take please review out minor advising page.
After filling out the webform and it doesn't automatically send you to the E-Sign Form, please click here: Student Academic Declaration and Change Form (wwu.edu) and send directly to chemistry@wwu.edu
