Hello. My name is Diane Rios. I am here to walk you through the process on where
to find the Online Major Change form and the Petition form. I will also show you the
process on how to fill out each of these forms properly and where to turn them in.
Here's how...start off by going to the Cerritos College website
www.cerritos.edu
Click on "Admissions" under "Students" on the left side. On the Admissions and
Records page you will click on "Forms" found at the top of the page right under the
title. On the forms page you will see two important forms. The Online Major Change
form and the petition for Certificate of Achievement form. If you are not sure
what your current major is,
ask your current instructors or ask someone at Admissions and Records
if your major is not correct, you will need to fill out the Online Major Change form
by going to the forms page and clicking on Online Major Change form,
fill out your information on the top. When selecting your major title you will
have to have more options normally two options with the name of the major you
are trying to obtain. That is because there is an option for A.A. degree and
certificate.
Make sure you select your major that says "certificate" in parenthesis at the
end.
For example, if your major is General Technician, you will select Auto
General Technician CT. "CT" stands for certificate. Unless you are ready for your A.A. Degree
you will obviously select on A.A. Degree but usually certificate is what you
will most likely be ready for before the A.A. Degree. You will fill out the
CAPTCHA letters and submit the form. This form is important even if your major
was correct because you will eventually be changing your major from certificate
to A.A. Degree, in some cases.
When you are done filling out your Online Major Change form, you will return to the
forms page and select on "Petition for Certificate of Achievement" toward the
bottom of the page. You will fill out only the top portion right above the line.
You may type in the information and print the form out or print the form out
and write in your information by hand. Once you have filled the form out, you
will turn the form in to Admissions and Records. When Admissions and Records have
approved your credits, you will have your certificate in your hands are no time!
I hope this was helpful to you. Have a great day. Goodbye.
