<p>Currently, I am enrolled at UCI as an English major, and as a freshman majoring in the Humanities, I am required to take the Humanities Core Course.</p>
<p>However, my current plans are not to continue with the English Major, I am thinking of changing major into ICS or the Social Sciences. Is there any way I can perhaps change out of the English Major, into something else (perhaps even Undecided/Undeclared), so that I can drop out of Humanities Core and take another writing course such as Writing 37 or Writing 39A?</p>
<p>I know that I had a chance to change major during Orientation, however, I did not take advantage of it at that time. Is it possible for me to change my major before September 15th? If so, what steps should I take in order to change major?</p>
<p>Since you can choose your classes, can't you just not enroll in humcore and change your major before the 2nd quarter begins? There shouldn't be anything stopping your, right?</p>
<p>I am afraid that dropping Humanities Core would raise a red flag on my schedule.</p>
<p>"Oh no! Humanities Major NOT taking Humanities Core! Better talk to this kid..."</p>
<p>or worse yet...I am afraid they might not allow me to enroll in any writing course other than Hum Core and automatically drop me from it. </p>
<p>Besides, I thought that in order to change major, there is a certain set of courses I would always have to take. For example, for ICS I need to take some introductory courses and get a certain GPA in order to change. Also, with the Social Sciences (economics in particular), I need to take additional classes and get a certain GPA in those. So how would I change major before the 2nd quarter?</p>
<p>they shouldn't drop you for not taking hum core if you're a humanities major... my friend is a humanities major too and she's not taking hum core because of some requirements she hadn't filled yet.. but they said it was okay...</p>
<p>I want to change major into ICS Informatics. According to UCI's website, if I want to change to an ICS major from a different School, I need to first meet the requirements THEN submit a Change of Major form. One of the requirements is to complete ICS 41, 42, 43.</p>
<p>However, those classes are restricted to Majors only. So I cannot register for them. If I cannot register for them, how can I satisfy the requirements!?!?</p>
<p>The easiest thing for you to do is just see your counselor, tell them you want to change majors, and then youre done. Really, its that simple, ive done it THREE times. You can drop Hum Core whenever you want, just dont expect to get back in when you - youll have to be on a waitlist.</p>
<p>So I must go up to UCI and talk to them then? I cannot email since that would take up to two weeks to get a response, and two weeks is too long for me to wait.</p>
<p>Call them and schedule an appointment with a counselor over the phone. Couneslors have the power to authorize the enrollment of classes. They can pull the strings and help you out. Don't worry at all; the counselors will take care of you. Now, go call the counseling office!</p>
