For a current UK student who wants to declare INTO an Engineering major:
When: See the Academic Calendar http://www.uky.edu/registrar/registrar-academic-calendar for approved dates for changing majors. For an Engineering student changing to a different Engineering major, the period to change is always open.
Before you apply: You may apply for pre-major status if you have a UK cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher AND you have the prerequisites to enroll in, or have completed, MA 113.
How: To begin the process, go to 375A Ralph G. Anderson Mechanical Engineering Building. Your record will be reviewed and admission will be determined.
Now What: If you are accepted, you will be given written verification of your admission. Take this verification to your current college, fill out a change of major form, and you will be given paperwork to deliver back to 375A Ralph G. Anderson Mechanical Engineering Building. Once you have delivered the paperwork to Engineering you will be officially declared and assigned an advisor in the college.
