If you started at Grand Valley before Fall 2024, you will need to update your catalog year before declaring data science and analytics as your major on MyBanner. When you begin your education at GVSU you are given a catalog year based on when you enroll in classes.
Updating your catalog is a simple process. You will need to email [email protected] from your Grand Valley email address. You will want to include your name, G-number, and the catalog year you are updating too.
If you are not sure you need to update your catalog year, please get in touch with the advising office by either calling us at 616-331-2310, emailing us at [email protected], or scheduling an appointment with an advisor.
*Please note that if you update your catalog year, you will not be able to move back to your previous catalog year, even if you want to change your major.
