Below is a list of forms that are often used in advising. Some of them may be filled out online, but must be printed and turned into the appropriate office.
Academic Actions (for undeclared students)
If you would like to appeal for an exception to a George Mason University academic policy, you must complete this form. To learn more please visit the student appeals page.
Change/Declaration of Academic Program (Undergraduate)
This form is used to declare or change your major, minor, or certificate program. Students complete the first section of the form and then take the form to the department of their chosen major/minor/certificate. Once it is signed by the new department it is taken to the previous major for a signature. The completed form is then submitted to the Registrar's Office. Students should check their Patriotweb account to make sure the change has been completed.
Selective Withdrawal Request
Undergraduate students enrolled in degree programs are eligible to withdraw from a maximum of three courses without Deans approval during their entire academic career at Mason. There are specific deadlines students must follow. The relevant dates can be found on the Current Academic Calendar on the Registrar's website. Students are strongly encouraged to talk to their advisor before selectively withdrawing from a course.
Credit Overload
Students who wish to register for more than 18 credits in any fall or spring semester must get permission from their dean. Undeclared students must fill out the Credit Overload form as well as the Academic Action form.
Study Elsewhere
Students who want to take courses at another institution and have the credits transferred back to Mason must have permission prior to taking the courses.
Re-Enrollment Form
Students must complete the Re-enrollment form if they have missed two or more consecutive semesters at Mason. The Application for Virginia In-State Tuition Rates (page three & four of this form) must be completed in order to be considered for in-state tuition rates when re-enrolling. Undeclared students must also complete the Academic Action form.
Before Leaving Mason Form
Students who are leaving Mason need to review and complete the form before leaving Mason.
