Adding the concentration to your major
  • Concentrations can be added or removed online, through OSCAR.
  • Note that if you attempt to follow this process, but do not see Astrophysics listed in the appropriate drop-down menu, it means that the concentration did not exist as part of the official catalog for year that you first entered Georgia Tech.  In that case, you will have to submit a paper “Change of Major/Catalog Year” form to the Tech Tower.
