GUIDELINES FOR ENGINEERING MAJORS

• Students are required to successfully complete all Critical Tracking courses by the end of their fifth (5th) semester.

Major change applications for lower-division students are evaluated based on in-progress status or successful completion of the eight Critical Tracking courses listed below.

• A grade of C or better (first two attempts, withdrawals included)
• A 2.5 cumulative grade point average in the Critical Tracking courses are required for admittance to the ISE major.

Change Major Process

1. Review the curriculum overview and plan for the BS in ISE found here.
2. Degree shop by major in ONE.UF to review your academic record on the degree audit.
3. Create a ‘What-if’ Degree Audit for the ISE program to identify your Critical Tracking GPA or use the HWCOE GPA calculator. A 2.5 GPA is required for all critical-tracking courses based on the best of two attempts.
4. To apply to change your major to the ISE program, complete the ISE Change Major Form.
5. Once your form has been submitted, then schedule an advising appointment with the assigned academic advisor to facilitate a productive discussion. Appointments should be scheduled at least 2 business days after your form has been submitted (excluding weekends and holidays).

A few notes:

• If you are a transfer student who has earned an AA degree from a Florida Public State/Community College and applied to the University, per the UF Transfer Admissions eligibility requirements, it is highly unlikely you will be able to change majors from the one you were accepted into.
  • Please note: Earning an AA degree in High School does not count as transfer student status.
• For detailed information on transitioning to an Engineering major, refer to the resources available at: Engineering Major Change Information.
