Undergraduate students who have already declared a major but want to change majors within their degree-granting college should contact the dean's office of that college to complete a change of major form.

Effective July 1, the tuition surcharge legislation has been repealed beginning with the 2019-20 academic year.
NC Governor Roy Cooper signed Senate Bill 225 into law which repeals the 50% tuition surcharge imposed on students who take more than 140 credit hours to complete a 4-year program or more than 110% of the hours necessary to complete a 5-year program.
Eligible students who complete their degree in a timely manner may still take advantage of the eight semesters of fixed tuition.
Several types of credit hours are not counted against a student when tuition surcharge eligibility is calculated. These excluded credits include the following:
- Summer school credits (whether taken at ASU or another school)
- Advanced Placement (AP) credits
- International Baccalaureate (IB) credits
- College Level Examination Program (CLEP) or similar credits
- Early college or high school dual-enrollment credit
- Military service and/or training credit
- ASU credit graded as WE (withdrawal with approved extenuating circumstances)
- App State Online courses or extension division courses from any other UNC institution
- Transfer credits from colleges and universities outside of North Carolina or from private colleges and universities within North Carolina when those credits were accepted by ASU in transfer for a student and added to the student's ASU record prior to August 15, 2013
- All non-ASU credits accepted for transfer and added to the student's record since August 15, 2013 are surcharge-applicable unless those credits happen to be from one of the excluded categories listed above (categories 1-9). Please review your unofficial transcript in AppalNet to see if you have any credits that would be excluded from the tuition surcharge calculation. If you have questions about whether particular credits on your record are excluded, please email registrar@appstate.edu
To determine surcharge eligibility for a degree-seeking, undergraduate student who has completed his or her eighth semester after high school graduation, the Office of the Registrar uses one of several formulas for assessing surcharge eligibility. The first step is to determine the number of surcharge-applicable hours the student has.
Surcharge-Applicable Hours
To determine how many surcharge-applicable hours a student has, use the following formula:
Attempted hours, completed
+ Attempted hours, in-progress
- Excluded hours
------------------------------------------------------
= Surcharge-applicable hours
As an example, a student has 146 attempted hours displaying on his unofficial transcript in AppalNet. Of those, 130 hours are complete from past terms and 16 hours are in-progress from the current term. The student completed 36 hours that are not surcharge-applicable: 12 hours during summer semesters, 9 hours from AP exams, 3 hours through an extension campus class, and 12 hours from an early college program. When those 36 hours are excluded from the overall total of 146 attempted hours, the student is found to have 110 surcharge-applicable hours. This student will not receive a surcharge.
Note: Students should understand that changing their major could result in excess attempted hours that will count toward the tuition surcharge threshold of 140 attempted hours. Students should also note that changing a major may not be deemed a valid reason for a waiver request by the Tuition Appeals Committee.
If you need assistance completing the form due to disability related reasons, please call the Office of the Registrar at 828-262-2050 or email registrar@appstate.edu.
If you are assessed the surcharge and you feel an error was made in which courses were mistakenly included you may contact the Registrar's Office at 828-262-2050 and request an audit of your surcharge hours.
No, the tuition surcharge will not affect your current financial aid. However, you may want to contact the Office of Student Financial Aid at 828-262-2190 to inquire about the possibility of increasing your student loans to help cover some of the tuition surcharge amount.
The decision of the Committee is final and there will be no further review.
No. Personal interviews are not conducted. Your waiver requests will be considered based on the materials you submit and your academic history.
An undergraduate student must take 12 semester hours during a regular semester in order to be classified as full-time. A graduate student must take 9 semester hours during a regular semester in order to be classified as full-time.
All students who submit a waiver request will be notified of the Committee’s decision within 30 business days of submission. Students will be notified via their official ASU email account.
Requests for waivers for earlier terms will not be considered. If your waiver request for an eligible term is approved, you will be refunded the portion of your tuition that is attributed to the surcharge and any subsequent term credits that might have been surcharged in error.
