Can you change my major even before freshman orientation?

One of my students got into University of Texas Austin as a mechanical engineering major, but he is having a second thought about his major he wants to study Chemical Engineering. I heard from a current Texas student that there is actually a window of period In which you can indeed change your major sometime in April.

Can someone confirm this? Thanks

You can request a major change from your My Status page - can’t remember the exact date it opened up last year. It is most definitely not guaranteed to be granted though. But worst they can say is no and he stays in ME.
