Transfer for fall 2009 pending; Change of major possible?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Florida

<p>I'll be calling UF this week but I just wanted to get other opinions on this.</p>

<p>Back in August I applied for a fall transfer for the college of engineering. As time went on I kind of got adjusted to my current university, finishing up some pre-requisites and UF faded away for a while these past two semesters. This past week I got a letter saying I've been accepted pending final transcripts, etc. for the fall in the College of Engineering.</p>

<p>I've been flip-flopping between engineering and the sciences (specifically physics) all last year and going into the summer and fall of a new year, I've talked to enough faculty and tried out courses to be decided for physics as my major. It would be nice to see if I can change majors for this fall instead of reapplying for the Spring, which is what I probably have to do anyway, which wouldn't really be a problem. I don't think I want to jump into engineering with a faint possibility of changing majors.</p>

<p>I really don't want to choose a school because of a major (electrical engineering, pending of course). UF has an excellent physics department and I want to finish my upper division in an environment like that.</p>

<p>Can admitted-pending students change majors from CoE to CLAS before arriving is what I am basically pondering. Space is always an issue, but it's worth a shot.</p>

<p>complete backwards for me man, i applied and accepted for mathematics and want to go to engineering, good luck to you and me. heres a response i got from an advising person.</p>

<p>Thank you for your question. Transfer students are admitted to one degree program only, and it is usually not likely for them to be allowed to change majors. However, it does depend on the student’s individual circumstances as well as the policy of the particular college to which the student would like to apply. I recommend following up with an advisor in the college that offers your desired major to inquire about their particular policy and to discuss whether or not it would be feasible for you to apply to change your major to their college.</p>

<p>lol i wish we could swap spots in clas to coe</p>

<p>i called engineering (electrical) and they said no to me they filled all spots, i assume clas has the same results…they said its possible to me to enroll as math major and then reapply for spring while i am taking classes at uf…now the issue is if I can take a couple electrical classes during the fall.</p>
