Changing Majors - School of Engineering

<p>Hello everyone, I'm currently a freshman at UCLA, and I've decided to switch majors over to computer science within the school of engineering. </p>

<p>However, I have one current conflict which regards the following rule that I have read in the requirements.</p>

<p>"-applicants must show that they have taken a combination of at least two (2) engineering/science/math courses per term, while enrolled in a minimum of 12 units per term."

<p>I am currently at a dilemma, because I am currently enrolled in Math 32A and two GEs, and I am unsure of whether or not I have jeopardized my chances of changing my major, since I do not have two engineering/science/math courses for this single term.</p>

<p>So I have two main questions
1) Did I jeopardize my chances, and will an exception be made considering that I am currently ahead in math (and will be willing to take two science classes and a math class during the winter quarter)?
2) What possible path do I have left to take in order to switch my major?</p>

<p>NOTE: I have e-mailed the CS counselors, but they are too busy to reply with a clear answer, and I have enrolled in the change of majors workshop on the 23rd, but that is weeks away.</p>

<p>Problem resolved,</p>

<p>Counselors responded, and said that they prefer for me to follow the stated rule, but I can still switch majors as long as I fit in another science/math/engineering course into my next quarter.</p>

<p>silly me for overreacting, haha</p>

<p>How long did it take them to respond?</p>

<p>i had to e-mail them a couple of times, but their answers through the e-mail didn’t actually answer my question (seemed like they skimmed it over and guessed what I was asking, though I admit, it was pretty lengthy).</p>

<p>i had to go in person to one of the workshops they had and had to ask one of the counselors there a couple days after my concerns were raised.</p>
