I know my D for now decided Mechanical Eng but with her fluctuating mind i expect major change sometime or later. I hear switching major in UIUC is almost difficult or not even possible. If this is the case would consider our commitment with UIUC
It 100% depends on the major. Most majors are pretty easy to transfer into as long as your GPA isn’t abysmal.
The majors that are very hard to transfer into are Business, any flavor of CS, ECE, MechE, and BioE,
Check out the various department websites, they’ll have a section with the requirements to transfer.
thank you @literallymarx She might end up switching CS since her career goal is more towards AI.
Switching majors within the same department is relatively straightforward, except for the oversubscribed majors literallymarx mentioned. Getting into those will require very good GPA and possibly other requirements. CS is particularly difficult, but it is possible as my son has a friend who made it in after freshman year. I believe he had a 4.0 or close and also got a seat in the CS track intro classes and did very well in them. CompE would likely be slightly less restrictive.
