To cancel a declared minor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, complete the online UIUC Minor Cancellation Form at go.illinois.edu/MinorCancellation.

The form is a web submission, not a PDF. You log in with your NetID, fill in the fields, and submit. Nothing is printed, signed, or hand-delivered. The electronic submission goes directly to LAS Student Academic Affairs, which processes the change to your record.
What to Have Ready
Before you open the form, gather:
- Your University Identification Number (UIN), the nine-digit number assigned when you enrolled.
- The official title of the minor as it appears in the course catalog. Use the exact name, not an abbreviation or informal version. “Statistics” and “Statistical Data Science” are not interchangeable, and a mismatch can delay processing.
- Your college of enrollment, meaning the college that houses your major rather than the department offering the minor.
Responsibility for cancellation sits with the student: you notify your college by filing the form.3Student Success @ Illinois. Pursuing an Undergraduate Minor No source confirms an advisor signature is required, but a quick conversation with your advisor is worth having, especially if you’re close to completing the minor’s coursework.
After you submit, the form should display or email a confirmation. Save it. Any follow-up correspondence will go to your illinois.edu email, not a personal address.
When to Submit if You’re Graduating
Timing is the part that trips students up. The Student Success office advises that minor-related forms be submitted to your college of enrollment before the last day to add a class in the semester you intend to graduate, so there’s time to process the change.3Student Success @ Illinois. Pursuing an Undergraduate Minor That add deadline shifts each term, so pull the exact date from the Registrar’s academic calendar.
The reason to beat that deadline is firm: once a degree has been awarded, LAS policy does not permit the retroactive removal of minors or other academic certifications from the posted degree.4College of Liberal Arts & Sciences | Illinois. Degree Certification An incomplete minor still sitting on your record at graduation can either delay degree certification while the college tries to verify requirements, or stay on your transcript permanently.
Confirming the Minor Was Removed
To verify the cancellation went through, run a degree audit through the Registrar’s degree audit tool.5Office of the Registrar. Degree Audit | Office of the Registrar | Illinois Once processed, the minor’s course requirements should no longer appear. Your student self-service profile is another place to check the list of programs attached to your record.
No official source specifies a guaranteed processing time. If more than two weeks pass without the change showing up in your audit, contact LAS Student Academic Affairs or your home college’s advising office to confirm the submission was received.
