[Advising] COA Change of Major Process

Good afternoon, As a follow up to inquiries received, please note that students currently admitted to UTSA who wish to change their major to one of the CoA programs must submit a "Request for Change of Major and External Transfer Admissions" to CoA Associate Deans Office [located at UTSA Downtown Campus, Monterrey Building 3.360] for review. This includes fall 14 students who have been admitted into a different major. The Change of Major Form can be found on the CoA website at http://architecture.utsa.edu/students/category/policies-forms/. **Please note, despite the wording on the current form, requests are accepted on a year round basis with primary consideration taking place annually in June for fall semester entry.** Change of Major decisions are made at the Department level, but are tracked through the College in order to trace the requests and responses as needed. Students who have submitted a change of major and are waiting on a response should be directed to the Departments by calling 210.458.3010 for ARC/ IDE and 210.458.3099 for CSM. Although it is not encouraged, students who applied and were not accepted into the program can request reconsideration but should do so only after discussing their situation with the Department Chair to get suggestions on what criteria needs to be met (usually GPA is a factor). Thanks and please let me know if you have any additional questions. :) -Jennifer Jennifer Uranga Academic Advisor IV The University of Texas at San Antonio Downtown Undergraduate Advising Center 501 W.
