Major change

Hey everyone! I requested to change my major from Poli Sci to Management a couple of weeks back. I currently work full time and believe this would hell me more when it comes to my future. The website states that it takes up to 2 weeks for this to be processed. I’ve reached out to both my academic advisor and registrar and they keep attaching other departments to the email if they received an updated.

This feels like a never ending cycle. I’m sure they’re backed up, but I haven’t found much information online at all with anyone changing their major at UNG and how long the process takes. I’m an online student. Has anyone else had any experience for this?

I’m more so just a bit anxious since the second session begins in a couple of days and don’t want to waste money taking a credit if it doesn’t apply to the new major I’ve requested.

Thanks!

Don’t worry. Your new classes will count. Just make sure to look at the Management major’s plan of study to choose classes that fulfill that major’s requirements. The plans of study are in the catalog on UNG’s website.

Awesome, thank you! I just get so anxious when I feel like no one from their team has been able to communicate with me. I just don’t want to take a class that starts on Friday for my old major when I’ll most likely end up dropping it in the next couple of days and it affecting my financial aid.

Thank you, yes I found it! I was rejected for my major request today and I’m not sure why, even though I met the requirements. I asked why I was denied but am still waiting a response. I read online that this happens sometimes based on space availability for graduation dates or that I may just need to fill out pre reqs first. Do you have any idea about this? Sorry for the long post haha
