Continuing with a Non-Engineering Degree at ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ (in a different college/school/program on campus)

If a student, while on an academic standing status, is considering transferring to another ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ college or school, he/she should follow theÌýdestination college’sÌýIntra-University Transfer (IUT) policy and procedures (which vary from college/school). Ìý

If the student elects to leave Engineering, the College considers that the student has permanently changed his/her choice of academic major to one offered by the other school or college. Therefore, the student is not permitted to enroll in any courses taught by this College that apply only toward engineering degree requirements.Ìý If, at a later date, the student attempts to transfer back to Engineering, the currentÌýEngineering College’s policy governing Intra-University Transfer (IUT) admissionÌýwill apply.Ìý
