Because admission is highly competitive, each applicant's initial choice of college and curriculum is important and should be carefully considered in consultation with counselors and parents. Due to the great interest in admission to all programs, there usually is not an opportunity for a student to ask for reconsideration of admission for an alternate program after an initial admission decision has been made.
A prospective student undecided about a major field of study in a particular college may wish to consider applying for admission to one of the curricula not requiring students to declare degree program majors until the end of the sophomore year. These are the core curriculum in the College of Agriculture, the unassigned curriculum in the College of Commerce and Business Administration, the general education curriculum in the College of Education, and the general curriculum in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
A beginning freshman is required to remain in the college and the prescribed freshman program to which he or she has been admitted for at least two semesters of full-time study.
A transfer student is obligated to remain in the college and, possibly, the curriculum to which he or she has been admitted for at least the first semester of enrollment. A student on campus who wishes to transfer to another college must meet the accepting college's admission requirements and compete for any available space. Due to enrollment controls, transfer to some programs is very competitive. For example, the College of Commerce and Business Administration and the College of Engineering will consider only transfer students with 60 hours of prerequisite course work.
The opportunity to enroll as a nondegree student is limited in the fall and spring semesters, and priority is given to University employees and residents of the community who wish to enroll in courses that are offered only at the University. Thereis no restriction on the number of nondegree students who may attend the summer session.
