All Ithaca College students are required to remain for at least one semester in the school to which they were originally admitted. Thereafter, it is possible to transfer into the School of Humanities and Sciences on two different bases: through the third semester as an exploratory student, or in any semester as a major in one of the humanities and sciences disciplines. Students wishing to transfer must meet the minimum academic standards of the school: a cumulate GPA of 2.00 and completion of at least 12 credits each semester and at least 24 credits in each 12-month period. They must also have achieved a GPA of 2.00 for the semester before the transfer and have at least a 2.00 GPA in all humanities and sciences courses they have completed. Students may submit change of school forms at any time. However, there is a moratorium on processing the forms during the advising and online registration periods each semester.
Admission procedure: A change of college/school form, available from the dean’s office, must be submitted to the dean of the School of Humanities and Sciences.
Students should seek additional information about the internal transfer process from the School of Humanities and Sciences’ Academic Advising Office located in Muller 220. Kathy Lucas, Assistant Dean, in the School of Humanities and Sciences is the contact person for information pertaining to the School’s internal transfer process.
