Change of Major In response to student needs, UD has developed a policy to help students move freely among majors and colleges. For many majors, it is as simple as logging on to UDSIS and submitting a Change of Program plan form. These majors are considered “unrestricted” and merely require that the applicant has a 2.0 cumulative GPA. Certain majors, however, are limited due to accreditation issues, availability of resources and space, or are already at capacity. These majors are what UD calls “restricted” majors and have certain requirements that must be filled before an applicant can declare. These requirements could include minimum GPA, pre-requisites, paper applications, interviews, etc. Restricted majors often only accept applications during certain times of the year. Many of them follow the same schedule, accepting applications during the first two weeks of each semester. The schedule is as follows unless otherwise indicated on the following pages. Dates to request transfers into many restricted majors: There will be a two week transfer application period for restricted majors followed by a one-week decision period. This will allow the process to be competitive in “restricted” majors. For Fall of 2009, students submit Change of Major requests from September 1, 2009 through September 15, 2009. Departments will notify students of their decisions by September 22. For Spring of 2010, students submit students submit Change of Major requests from February 8, 2010 through February 22, 2010. Departments will notify students by March 1. To determine what is required to apply to your major of choice, click on the appropriate link below. |
