 Notes:

1.Change of Major Regulation:

A student is allowed to change major once before and once after “Acceptance to Major”.

2.Change of Minor Regulation

Towards the end of the first year, every student whose program of study requires a Minor must apply for acceptance to Minor. Once accepted in a Minor, a student may change the Minor only once.

Exceptions: 

1.   The Academic Vice President, upon the recommendation of the Dean and Chairperson, may authorize an exception to specific academic regulations for students who have completed at least 80% of the total number of credit hours (Intensive English not included) required for graduation. In particular, in case of an academic dismissal the student may be granted one additional semester on probation before a final dismissal.

2.  Students who in their senior year were dismissed after having exhausted the 80% chance can apply for readmission after one year has elapsed from the date of their dismissal.
