Students enter the
College
of
Arts
and Sciences when they select a major or program inside the College.
Students who wish to transfer into the
College
of
Arts
and Sciences must meet the
following requirements:
-
Earned 26 hours
of credit. At least 23 of those hours must be acceptable hours toward
graduation in the College of A&S.
- An earned GPA of
2.0 or higher.
- Satisfaction of the English competence
requirement.
This may be
accomplished by:
· completing English
102 with a C or higher;
· scoring 29 or
higher on the English section of the Enhanced ACT;
· scoring 650 or
higher on the verbal section of the SAT;
· credit for English
102 through CEEB advanced placement; or
· completion of the
writing proficiency portfolio requirement available through the
Department of English.
Upon choosing a Program within the College of A&S,
students must fill out a “Major Declaration” form. This form
designates the student’s major and minor (or second major).
Students must take the form to the major department (both departments in
the case of double majors) to be signed by the undergraduate advisor in
the major department.
For example, Biology majors take the form to the Biology Department for
the Biology advisor’s signature. When the form has been signed by
the departmental advisor in your major field(s), you then may attend a “Transfer-In”
group session. You may use the
online appointment request form to schedule.
Here are some frequently asked questions about
transferring into the College of A&S:
- What if I am now
taking English 102, but I will complete it at the end of the
semester. Can I transfer into A&S before I get my grade?
No. Students must have a recorded grade of C or
better in English 102 before using English 102 to satisfy the
English competence requirement and entering A&S. The
College
of
Arts
and Sciences will not
accept students who lack demonstrated English competence.
- I am a non-degree
student. Should I apply to A&S?
No. You should go to the Office of Admissions and
submit an application as a non-degree student.
- What is the writing
proficiency portfolio and how do I know whether it is a better
choice for me than taking English 102?
The Department of English has written a helpful
brochure that explains how the writing proficiency portfolio works. If you have questions, visit the
Department of English and speak with the Undergraduate Advisor or
the Director of the Writing Proficiency Portfolio Project.
- I met with A&S
advisors at Lobo Orientation, but I’m still a student in
University College
. Should I meet with
an advisor at
University
College
or at the
A&S
Advisement
Center
?
When you are ready to transfer into A&S, you
should come to the
A&S
Advisement
Center
. Until then, your Pre-Major Advisor in
University
College
,
the undergraduate advisor in your intended major, and the A&S
E-Advisor can assist you with your advisement questions.
- What do I need to
bring with me when I visit the A&S
Advisement
Center
?
Always bring photo identification, a copy of your ePROGRESS degree audit (available on LoboWeb), and any advisement materials you have
been given by any UNM advisors.
