All First-Time-Freshmen (FTF) students will have a “LCOE Hold” on their student portal. This hold prevents students from dropping their ENGR 1, CM 1, or ARCH 1 first semester major course. The hold does not prevent students from adding or dropping other courses. |
The hold will be removed after the 20th day of instruction. If you are hoping to change your major outside of the Lyles College of Engineering (LCOE), please meet with an Academic Counselor in order to have the hold removed and discuss change of major process and options. |
