To change a major, students must get the approval of both their current Department Chair and the Chair of the new department.

A student who changes a major is subject to the program requirements in effect at the time of the major change.

When a student changes his or her major, all transcripts, including the Trine University transcript, are evaluated by the new Chair. If the change of major is from one school to another, from a four-year to a two-year program, or from a two-year to a four-year program, courses with less than a “C” grade may be dropped from the student’s cumulative totals, if the courses are not required in the new major. This includes students in the Allen School of Engineering and Computing who change from an engineering major to Design Engineering Technology. Dropped courses may not be repeated in the new major.

In cases where a student is readmitted to a school in which he or she was previously enrolled, all grades earned during enrollment in that school must be included in the cumulative grade point average.

Students wishing to change from non-degree status to a degree program should apply for admission through the Office of Admission.
