- Complete CINE 200 & 202 OR CINE 203with a grade of “C” or better
Please be aware that our system gives priority for enrollment in these classes to already-declared Cinema majors. In practice, this means that non-majors will not be able to register online for CINE 200, 202 or 203. You must go to these classes on the first day, with your transcript & DARS Report (find at MySFSU), and attempt to add. Fall Semester intro courses are generally very crowded and can therefore be difficult to add; it is therefore recommended that you try to add during Spring and Summer semesters, which are generally less crowded.
Proficiency (Exemption) Exams: You may also attempt to "test out" of CINE 200 and/or CINE 202 by taking an exemption exam for each course; these exams are generally given on the second Tuesday of each Fall & Spring semester. Exams are based on recent sections of the courses.
- Complete SFSU General Education Segments I & II requirements.
- Fill out a Blue Sheet (Undergraduate Advising Form).
- NEW! change of major forms can be filled out online and emailed to the Cinema Department for the Chair's signature. If you have met the above requirements, your major will usually be changed within 2 business days. If you print your change of major form and hand it in, it often takes about week for the major to change. You will still need to see an advisor to fill out your Blue Sheet at some point before you start on 300-level courses.
