incoming freshmen concerned about major change criteria

Hi I’m gonna be a freshman attending ucr in the fall. I got accepted for English but am interested in changing my major to biochemistry? I know in order to change to biochem you have to complete certain classes (bio and chem) but my main concern is if I can sign up to take bio and chem my first semester even though im an English major? Thank you

Since you are not in the Biochem major yet, you may get a lower priority. Ask your academic advisor at Freshman orientation and plan our your schedule so you can switch your major and complete your degree in a timely manner.
