College Transfer By Probation (complete 21 hours and GPA < 2)

• Students placed on academic probation are permitted to transfer between colleges under restricted conditions, provided they adhere to the deadlines set by the university calendar.
• Students must fill out the probation form and then send it to the advising unit.
• The CIT Advising Unit will communicate with other colleges to process students' requests for approval or disapproval.
• Please note that the requested college does the approval of transfer

Internal Transfer Policy

Students currently enrolled in the College of Information Technology (CIT) may apply to transfer from one major to another within the college. Such transfers are considered internal transfers. Transfer applications are evaluated based on available capacity, academic performance, and fulfillment of prerequisite course requirements.

General Conditions

• Students are permitted to change their major only once during their academic studies.
• Students must be in good academic standing at the time of the transfer request.
• Approval of the internal transfer request is subject to the availability of seats in the target program.
• All transfer requests must be submitted within the deadlines set by the university and approved by the College of Information Technology. Please click here for the university calendar.
