<p>Back in fall, I applied to the college of engineering, and was accepted in october at some point. Over the course of this school year, however, my goals have changed and I want to major in math or a science, but through LSA rather than engineering. I have heard from several sources that you have to wait a year to switch into a different academic unit. </p>
<p>I have a couple questions for anyone who might know the answers:</p>
<p>Is it true that I have to wait a year, and that there is nothing I can do? Do I have to take first year engineering classes if I am in the college of engineering, even if I want to switch into LSA? I have orientation and class selection coming up this summer, and will I be able to register for classes that I will need for a degree through LSA or will I have to stick with engineering courses?</p>
<p>Since I am interested in an honors concentration in math, I don't mind the math or physics requirements for first year engineering students, and I got a 5 on AP chemistry so I think that requirement will be satisfied, but I don't really want to take eng 100 or the other further requirements of the college of engineering, since I plan on switching out. </p>
<p>Any response is greatly appreciated, although one from someone who has actually switched academic units at UM would be especially helpful.</p>
