How do I declare the minor?
Please complete the online minor/certificate declaration form to declare a minor or certificate in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies. It may take 5-7 business days to process your request, so check your CSU email for an email from the Registrar’s Office asking you to approve the request to declare the minor. You must approve the request for the declaration to be processed.
You should see the minor or certificate updated in Ramweb within a week of your approval.
If you have questions about a minor or certificate, please attend weekly drop-in advising hours to talk with an HDFS adviser, or email CHHS-HDFS_advising@mail.colostate.edu.
