Change of Major to CIS

Two meetings for changing majors or adding a CIS minor are held each quarter.  The dates for fall quarter have to be determined.

You need to attend one of the meetings to submit your change of major request.  We do not accept change of major requests outside of these meetings.

Do I need to take MAT125 Business Calculus?
For students with 2009-2010 curriculum years, you NEED to take MAT125. Students with an earlier curriculum year do NOT need to take MAT125. If you change your curriculum year to be the same as your graduation year, you DO need to take MAT125.
How many classes do I have left?
In Bronco Direct, the "Degree Progress Report" lists those classes (whether taken here, at a community college, or through an AP test) that satisfy your degree requirements and indicates which classes you still need to take. Sometimes the report is missing some information such as a class that was petitioned or GE certification. If you feel something is missing, please meet with an advisor to get it cleared up and reflected on your Degree Progress Report.
Do I need to complete a prerequisite for a class?
Prerequisite courses are required to promote success in subsequent courses. A prerequisite is a course that must be completed before taking the next course. For example, CIS234 is a prerequisite for CIS235 and CIS307. Some courses can be taken concurrently with another course. For example, CIS328 can be taken with CIS347 and CIS338.
Where do I get a permission number to override prerequisites?
Using your Cal Poly email account, email the department office at cisdept@csupomona.edu with the CRN for the class you want to add, list the prerequisites that you have taken, and where the prerequisites were taken. Once the prerequisites are verified, you will be emailed the permission number.
How do I add a class when I have a prerequisite error message that is incorrect?
Using your Cal Poly email account, email the department office at cisdept@csupomona.edu with the CRN for the class you want to add, list the prerequisites that you have taken, and where the prerequisites were taken. All of this information must exist already in Bronco Direct. Once the prerequisites are verified, you will be emailed the permission number.
How can I get a permission number to override prerequisites when my transfer transcripts haven't been entered?
You need to bring an unofficial transcript showing the class completed that is a prerequisite to a class here. Bring the unofficial transcript to the department office located in building 98, 4th floor, room 11. Once your prerequisites have been verified by the department secretary, you will be provided a permission number.
How do I get a CIS hold removed?
Each department is responsible for removed holds assigned to them. The CIS hols are usually for first or second strike(s) in a CIS core class (CIS234, CIS235, CIS307, CIS304, CIS311, CIS305, and CIS328) and a low GPA. If you have a CIS 1st strike hold for a CIS core class or GPA hold for a GPA above 2.0 but below 2.2, please see Professor Carlin. If you have a 2nd strike in a CIS core class, please see Dr. Guthrie.
