Majors and Minors
Students should request changes to their academic plan of study within RamPortal. Changes are submitted on the Change/Add/Update Plan Request from on the Student Forms card. Instructions: Update Your Program of Study guide
General Education Pathway Certificates
Pathway certificates take a cross-disciplinary approach to incorporate the spirit of the general education curriculum, with a focus on specific themes, concepts, and content areas. Each pathway is 12 credits, 9 of which must come from Gen Ed courses with different prefixes. Pathways provide students with additional opportunities to apply information and learning approaches across multiple disciplines. Pathway certificates are completed at the student’s discretion and do not take the place of other general education requirements.
Holds
At times students may encounter holds on their student account in RamPortal. These holds can have a variety of impacts such as preventing students from being able to register for classes, order transcripts, or receive their diploma. Students can see their holds by logging into RamPortal. The Holds card will list any hold s as well as how to address the hold.

Permission to view student information is fully controlled by the student and they have full discretion over what pieces of information they make available to others. The student is the only person who can grant others access to view their information and have the ability to remove access at any time.
