*Updated Jan. 2024* Thinking About Changing Your Major workbook conveniently linked at top of the Change of Major Drop-In Advising site!

This workbook contains worksheets that have been designed to help current degree-seeking NC State students at any stage in the change of major process. Whether your students are still exploring different majors, if they are navigating CODA, or if they are trying to get organized for registration advising, this workbook could be a very helpful resource. We encourage you to share this resource with your students prior to referring them to visit Change of Major Drop In Advising and/ or prior to referring them to join the ICT program.

Inter-College Transfer (ICT) Program

The Inter-College Transfer (ICT) Program is for students who are switching majors out of their current college/program and need cross-curricular advising support beyond Change of Major Drop-In Advising. A student is a good candidate for ICT if they need additional help identifying a new intended major or if they have identified their new major but it will take longer than the current semester and/ or next CODA cycle(s) to satisfy its minimum and/or preferred CODA requirements. Before requesting a change to ICT, your student must have ruled out all majors in their current college or program and be willing to explore other NC State major(s).

If you have a student you think would be a good candidate for ICT, please refer them to visit Change of Major Drop-In Advising first. Upon completion of a student’s Drop-In Advising visit, any student referred to join ICT will be signed up for an “ICT intake” (a 1:1 appointment or a group ICT intake session) to change into the ICT program. Once the student joins our ICT program, they are assigned to an experienced, cross-curricular ICT advisor who advises them until they matriculate into a major.
