change of major
Students may request a change of major by meeting with a counselor in Student Academic
Services to discuss the changes and then complete a change of status form. It is
recommended that students submit major changes as early as possible so that they
may seek proper guidance, which will facilitate new program scheduling. Approved
major changes will become effective for the subsequent term and must meet certain
criteria. Additionally, students are encouraged to meet with their faculty advisors.
Students who submit major changes after the sixth week of a new term will not have
guaranteed schedules that accommodate their new majors for the next term due to
space and availability. Scheduling for the new major becomes the responsibility
of the student.
criteria The following criteria must be met in order for a change of major
to be completed.
• Students are responsible for the curriculum listed in the catalog
in effect when originally entering the University. At the discretion of the University,
curriculum will be revised to meet industry standards.
• All relevant courses will be transferred to the new program of study. The
student is still responsible for completing the degree according to course completion
standards based on the student's entrance date to the University.
• All courses from the previous major which apply to this new major will be
counted toward course completion totals and will be calculated in the cumulative
GPA.
• Students on academic probation are not eligible to change their majors without
written permission from an academic counselor.
• Students requesting a change of major into the Pastry Arts, Culinary Arts,
and Culinary Nutrition bachelor's degree programs must complete a separate application.
The major change or continuation will be processed upon the student's acceptance
into the new program. (See major criteria in the current catalog).
• International students must have written approval of the International Affairs
Office before submitting a major change or continuation notice.
• Students requesting a change of major into International Hotel & Tourism
Management must meet admissions criteria and/or receive approval from the appropriate
department chairperson.
• Students may not request a change of major into International Business. (See
admissions criteria.)
• For Graduate School students, all foundation and prerequisite courses listed
for the new program will be determined by Student Academic Services and must be
completed or documented before entering the new program. Certain programs within
the Graduate School may not be available every term. Students cannot change majors
in their last term of enrollment.
