Appeals and Changing Majors

Change of Major:

Non-GEST students in good standing (2.0 or better cumulative GPR) may change majors by completing the online change of major form .

Current GEST students below a cumulative GPR of 2.0 will receive an email/letter IF you must complete the online appeals form (despite your ability to Grade Exclude) to determine eligibility to continue as a General Studies student at TAMU.  Read this email/letter carefully and follow the instructions provided within. 

Non-GEST students below a cumulative GPR of 2.0 wishing to change their major  must submit an appeal using the online appeals form  to be considered for admittance into General Studies.

For more information, please see General Academics Policies and Rules page at http://gest.tamu.edu/Forms/Policies/policies08a.pdf.

Appeals: 

Deadline: June 30, 2009.

Attention Students: Please be aware that submission of an appeal is not a guarantee of continuance in General Studies or at TAMU. You will be notified of your status by USPS mail. All mail goes to the address listed on your appeal.

If you are eligible to utilize First Year Grade Exclusion, please be aware that the Appeals Committee will take that into consideration when making the appeals decision.  You may complete this process with your current major or choose to process it later if your appeal is granted.

• You MUST consult with a GENERAL STUDIES advisor before utilizing First Year Grade Exclusion when a grade of a “D” has been earned.

For more information, please see the General Academics Policies and Rules page at http://gest.tamu.edu/Forms/Policies/policies08a.pdf.

If you have read and understood the requirements, proceed to the online appeals form.
