<p>How hard would it be if you decided to switch majors but the major you want is in a different "school" as they call it?
Thanks
One example say that you were engneering but wanted to switch to history.</p>
<p>i think it's easy to transfer into LandS harder to go from LandS to others. you'll prolly have a lot to catch up with thouh.</p>
<p>I'm actually in the process of doing something pretty similar to the example the OP gave.</p>
<p>Currently, I'm in the College of Engineering but I'm trying to transfer into the College of Natural Resources. And let me tell you what a headache it has been. Both parties are either reluctant to let you go or to let you in.</p>
<p>I've been meeting with and emailing back and forth my Engineering advisor over the last few months. Because I'm a freshman engineer, they won't allow me to change to another college until my Fall grades are ready for review. Basically, I have an appointment to see the Dean of Engineering tomorrow morning to discuss my situation and petition for a non-engineering schedule (I'll be taking courses for my new major this Spring) and hope they grant it to me. It's kinda time-sensitive because telebears is coming up and I'm supposed to get my advisor code from an assigned faculty advisor before then, too.</p>
<p>For L&S, you need a minimum 2.2 GPA if you're a freshman, and 3.0 for sophomores and above and also, a short statement (a few sentences) saying why you're changing colleges: what your original goals were and what happened. This information I got from an L&S Change of College workshop because individual counseling is not available for changing colleges. For CNR, you need a minimum 3.0 GPA and a signature from your new major advisor.</p>
<p>Also, there's application periods you need to follow for L&S.</p>
<p>dang cuse i will be in for a hastle because i want to transfer from college of natural resources to LandS. So do you think it wold be tough to do?
Thanks</p>
<p>Decimal: Do you know what its like to transfer from L&S to COE for EECS? Please include GPA and other statistics if you know them. Thanks!</p>
<p>jmarin: I think that it would be much simpler to transfer from CNR to L&S, especially since some of the majors in CNR share the same breadth requirements as those of L&S. From what I've gleaned from the L&S Change of College workshop, if you're a freshman as of right now, going into L&S should be a cinch given that you meet the criteria listed here: <a href="http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/faq/chgclg.html%5B/url%5D">http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/faq/chgclg.html</a></p>
<p>If you attend one of these workshops which are offered periodically throughout the year, you'll receive handouts of that page and the Change of College petition form which is already on there as a pdf. Additionally, there was this handout that I just scanned and uploaded: <a href="http://www.flyupload.com/get?fid=4724108%5B/url%5D">http://www.flyupload.com/get?fid=4724108</a></p>
<p>However, if you're not a freshman, it might be slightly more complicated. At the workshop, they outlined information in order of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and lastly seniors. After they would go through one grade level, you would have the chance to ask questions and then to leave the room if you got everything you wanted to know so then I left after the freshmen part.</p>
<p>misterreach: Unfortunately, I'm leaving CoE and don't really know that much about the reverse of getting into CoE. There was someone at the L&S Change of College who was also considering transferring into CoE but he was told to go see the Engineering department instead for guidance. So you might want to contact someone in CoE and arrange a meeting. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thank you very much decimal
You are one of the most helpful people in the board.</p>
<p>This is such a taxing process...Thanks decimal. I just found something for those who want to transfer into COE from somewhere else. <a href="http://academicservices.berkeley.edu/resources/handouts/engineering/coe%20flyer.doc%5B/url%5D">http://academicservices.berkeley.edu/resources/handouts/engineering/coe%20flyer.doc</a>
Its not very detailed but its quite informative if you have no idea about what to do.</p>
