Will I graduate on time?

<p>Hi guys, so I will be a freshman this coming fall and I will be majoring in IT (just switched from CS).</p>

<p>When I made my schedule, I already had about 41 credits transferred from AP classes\university classes I took in high school. This made it tough to make a schedule, as most of my General Education and elective requirements have already been filled.</p>

<p>What I'm worried about is that I only have 4 credits that satisfy my BS in IT (about 52 credits), and non in my Computer Security minor.</p>

<p>Is this normal for a first semester student? Should I have more credits in my major? The only reason I don't have more is that I don't have much experience in computer language and most of the classes don't fit my schedule.</p>

<p>Why would it be difficult to graduate on time if you come in with AP and college credit? For any requirement that you have already fulfilled, you can take a free elective course of interest in its place.</p>

<p>I’m worried that because of how at my college CS\IT classes have so many pre-reqs to take I’ll be behind for only taking 4 credits in my major (only 1 credit towards actual computing)</p>

<p>Sit down and map out a tentative schedule. It’s a good idea, you can get an advisor to help or review it. My daughter’s college did this when you declared a major you make a contract where you map out your classes to graduation. It can be modified but you always have a working document that graduates you on time.</p>
