How do I change my default shell

How do I change my default shell on an MSI Unix machine?

The Bourne-Again SHell (BASH) is the officially supported shell at MSI. If you prefer to use another shell, you may request the change via an MSI Support request (help@msi.umn.edu). Please be aware that some software modules (including the isub command) may not function as intended when using another shell. Note: the UNIX chsh command does not work in the MSI environment.
