School Assignment is a program that allows first year Undergraduate/Undeclared students making normal progress toward a major, to change to their School of Interest, even before completing Change of Major pre-requisites. The School Assignment process begins during Week 2 of the Spring quarter on Monday, April 7th, 2025 as shown below for each school. And if not completed by Friday, April 18th at 3:00 P.M. an academic hold will be placed on your academic record.
