Your D-Plan is an agreement with the College and confirmation of where you intend to be each term.

• If your plans change due to declaring a new major or for some other academic reason, you may reconfigure your D-Plan in the Registrar's Office.
• All changes are subject to housing availability; anticipated full occupancy in fall term may prevent you from changing from a  Off/Leave Term to an On/Residence Term.
