How do I change
my major to Industrial Distribution?
Change of major requests into ID
are considered during the fall and spring semesters only. Interested
students must submit an application to the ID Program Office no
later than one week prior to Q-drop deadline. Applications
are available as early as the first day of class during the fall
and spring terms in the ID Office located in Fermier Hall,
room 204.
Applications must be submitted to
the program office during the application period. Applicants
will be notified 2 weeks after the application deadline if they
have been accepted.
At that point, you will need to fill
out a change of major form in the program office.
All applicants must have a cumulative
TAMU GPR of 2.5+ at time of application for consideration.
The program is always full, so the
anticipated number of graduates from the major has to be determined
before students can be allowed to change curriculum into the major.
You may discuss the possibility of transfer at any time with an
advisor in the Industrial Distribution office.
The courses listed
in my catalog are no longer being offered. What should I take instead?
In order to improve the quality of
the education provided in our department and to best prepare our
students for careers in Industrial Distribution, several changes
have been made to the content and numbering of our courses. The
following is a list of recent or future changes. If you have already
taken any of these courses as they were originally numbered, you
DO NOT have to take them again.
IDIS 414 = IDIS 343
ENTC 373 and ENTC 403 = ENTC 489 = IDIS 403
ENTC 181 and ENTC 380 = ENTC 489 = IDIS 281
ENTC 330 = IDIS 300
ENTC 430 = IDIS 400
MKTG 435 and MKTG 436 = IDIS 430
My advisor told
me I could substitute a class I have already taken for one in my
degree plan, but my degree audit still shows I have not met the
requirements for that class. How can I fix this?
You need to complete and submit a
substitution request. Your advisor may already have one prepared
for you that has not yet been processed. Please check with the ID
Academic Advisor. Substitution Request forms are available at the
ID Program front desk in Fermier 204. You may leave completed requests
in the advisor's signature folder to be picked up the next day.
At that time, the request must be taken to Fermier 106 to be processed.
May I take ENGL
210 for ENGL 301?
Yes. You can also take the course
(ENGL 210) at Blinn, or by correspondence. The course equivalent
is ENGL 2311.
May I co-enroll
at Blinn?
Yes, for courses such as ENGL 104,
SCOM 203, ENGL 301(210), etc., if it is not feasible for them
to be taken at TAMU. You will need to obtain a co-enrollment
form from your advisor and have it completed (especially the portion
which asks for the reason for the request) and signed with the appropriate
signatures before enrolling at Blinn.
What does it mean
to be blocked?
You can be blocked from obtaining
a transcript, you can be blocked from registration and you can be
blocked from graduation. Some of the most common reasons for being
blocked are:
For catalogs numbered 120 and above,
you must complete ENDG 105, ENGL 104, IDIS 144, MATH 141, CHEM 102/112
or CHEM 107, IDIS 240, MATH 151, and meet or exceed the GPA requirements
set forth by the Industrial Distribution Program (please see the
ID academic advisor for current GPA requirements). Other classes
which are helpful to have completed BEFORE upper level entry are
PHYS 201 and 202, and ACCT 209 and 210.
