Information for Minors

Declarations for new minors: Students can begin submitting declaration applications for a CJ Minor or Crime Analytics Minor as soon as grades are posted on transcripts. Check your transcript regularly to see when the minor appears. Students will not receive any type of notifications, therefore it is the student’s responsibility to monitor their status!
