Science Undesignated Student Advising Policies

Two Semester Advising Policy

First-year and transfer students who state they will not pursue a Science degree plan during their All Aboard Purdue advising and registration appointment will have two (2) semesters to CODO (Change of Program) to a non-science program. The College of Science will provide advising and Advisor course request forms (ACRF) for a student's first three semesters to ensure submission of their Course Request Forms during pre-registration. Students who are unsuccessful in CODOing to the program of their choice after their second semester will CODO to the Waypoint program.

Fourth Semester Policy

College of Science students who pursue a non-CoS degree after their first semester will have three subsequent semesters in the CoS to successfully CODO to the college/school of their choice. The four-semester policy clock starts with the first semester of enrollment in the College of Science.

College of Science 5th Semester Registration Permission for Undesignated Students

College of Science students who have yet to successfully CODO to a new degree program under the Fourth Semester Policy may request 5th-semester registration permission if they are making appropriate progress towards their intended degree plan and will meet CODO requirements during the subsequent semester. Under this policy, students complete the 5th-semester form with an advisor from the school/college into which the student plans to CODO.

The 5th-semester policy is applied if an advisor from the student's intended program confirms the student will likely meet the necessary GPA and course requirements to CODO at the end of the fifth semester. Should the proposed CODO not occur, no further registration privileges will be allowed for the student within the College of Science. In this case, students must CODO to another college pending approval to enter their program of choice.
