Academic Policies - Change of Major and Dropping Grades

Students who wish to transfer from one major to another must first receive the approval of their advisor. Students must fill out the appropriate form in the Office of Records and Registration. Before a student may register officially in the new major, the change of the major must be approved by the Office of Records and Registration.

Students who change majors and achieve a 2.0 grade point average for the first 12 credits in the new major may apply to drop from their cumulative point average all “D’’ and “F’’ calculations for courses previously completed which were particular to the former major and which do not pertain to their new major. Students will have one opportunity to take advantage of this policy to drop grades. If a student decides to change back to their original major, the grades which were removed from their cumulative grade point average will be reinstated.
