In general, students should complete at least one science course (PHYS2101 or CHEM2101 or BIOL2101) to be eligible for majoring. The only exception is Agricultural Engineering where students are asked to complete at least two science courses (as shown in the table below) in order to be considered for majoring. The remaining third course must be finished in the following semester. In addition, Agricultural Engineering major requires a minimum C grade in the science courses.
Besides completion of specific courses some majors, such as Agricultural Engineering and Human Nutrition specify minimum cumulative GPA (as shown below) that should be obtained before applying for majoring.

Students meeting the following criteria can apply for major:
1- Complete minimum of 24 credits.
2- Pass CAMS2000 course.
3- Finish one science course (PHYS2101 or CHEM2101 or BIOL2101).
Any student with 30 credits or more must apply for a major irrespective of his/her status and courses taken. Students who do not apply for a major will be majored in any available major.
Major assignment will depend on the following criteria:
1- Availability of seats.
2- Cumulative GPA.
3- Not under probation post application
- Major changes are allowed only once and within the first year of the current major.
- Students applying for a major change must meet admission requirements of the requested program and should have passed one science course, LANC2141 Or LANC2146 , and the introductory course of his/her current major.
- The new major will count only the courses relevant to the program. Note: not counting some of the courses may delay graduation.
- For non-vacant major, the applicant should have “a minimum of 2.3 cumulative GPA” or “higher than the last admitted student” in case the last admitted student had a cumulative GPA higher than 2.3.
- Priority of major allocation will be given to students without major during the major selection period.
- In all cases and without exception, the maximum allowable transfer should not exceed 10% of the assigned number in each major.
