Requirements – Change of Curricula (CODO) to the Undergraduate Studies Program (USP)
To be eligible for a Change of Curricula (CODO) to the Undergraduate Studies Program (USP), a student must have no more than 83 completed college credits.
Credit counted toward this upper limit includes: credit earned by exam, transfer credit, credit earned in P/NP courses, credit for courses in which they earned Fs, and credit for currently enrolled courses.
In addition:
Students bringing from 77 – 83 completed college credits should be able to complete the requirements necessary to CODO to a degree-granting college/school/program (CSP) at the completion of one semester in USP, as that is all the time they would have in USP.
If students can CODO from their current program to the degree-granting CSP they are seeking at the end of the current semester, they are not eligible to CODO to USP. If they end up not being able to CODO to that degree-granting CSP once grades come out, then they can CODO to USP for the next semester.
If students have already enrolled in classes for their last semester of eligibility (e.g – Spring 2011) in their current CSP and IF they do well will be able to CODO to their CSP of choice at the end of that semester (May 2011), they may not CODO to USP just so they can register for the next semester classes (Fall 2011). Instead, they should wait for grades to come out and CODO directly to their CSP of choice and then register for the next semester’s classes with their new advisor.
NOTE: All students CODOing into USP during their initial year of college MUST take EDPS 10500 “Academic & Career Planning” during that year.
