Change of Major
- Students may change their academic major given that this change should occur before completing the maximum number of 60 undergraduate credit hours.
- Courses and grades earned prior to changing the academic major will remain in the students’ records and will still be calculated in their cumulative GPA.
- Students at the Foundation Program may change their academic major to colleges that do not require passing the Foundation Program after meeting the admission requirements of the sought Major. The change of major must be approved by the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs at the sought college.
