Declare & manage your program

Managing your program throughout your degree will help you stay on track as you work toward timely degree completion.

Declare your program

In the Faculties of Humanities, Science, and Social Sciences, you are eligible to declare your program when you have

• • been admitted to the Faculty of Humanities, Science or Social Sciences,
  • started your classes at UVic and
  • completed a minimum of 12.0 units of coursework

*If you are declaring a program in the Faculty of Science, but were admitted to Humanities or Social Sciences, please review and make sure you meet the eligibility requirements in the Academic Calendar.

Declaring your program is required to be eligible to graduate, and

• • provides access to your CAPP Report, which is your official, primary program planning tool and shows your degree progression
  • lets the department and faculty know your intentions and provides access to department-specific information and opportunities
  • grants you access to courses restricted to students in your program

*To declare a diploma or certificate, contact the Academic Advising Centre and review the program requirements in the Academic Calendar.

Access & review your CAPP Report

Your CAPP report is a degree evaluation that shows the university, faculty, and program requirements for your degree. It shows which requirements you have completed or in progress, and which requirements you still need to complete. The CAPP report is a helpful tool for degree planning that should be used once you have declared your program, and is used to determine your eligibility to graduate.

Change your program

You may want to change specific components of your program, such as:

• Declare an Honours program you have been admitted to,
• Add or remove a minor, option, or concentration,
• Add or remove a diploma or certificate,
• Add or remove a major or honours program,

To change a component of your program within the Faculties of Humanities, Science and Social Sciences, submit a request to change your program through DeclareMe.

To change your program to one outside of the Faculties of Humanities, Science and Social Sciences, please read these instructions on program changes.

You can change your program up to once per term.

Graduation

Review your CAPP report thoroughly as you near the end of your degree to make sure you are meeting degree program requirements.

If you have any questions about what you are seeing on your CAPP report, make an appointment with an Academic Adviser to review it together.

When all of your requirements are complete or in progress, you can apply to graduate.
