The following circumstances warrant CPS Change Form procedures:
Course Waivers: You may request to waive foundation, program core courses, conditions of admission, or other requirements. You must supply documentation to accompany course waiver requests. The waiver will be sent to a faculty committee; the committee will mail you their decision.
Course Substitutions: The faculty advisor approves all changes to the plan foundation, plan core, or required plan electives by signing the CPS Change Form.
Approval of Transfer Credit: After the CPS has been finalized, you must use a CPS Change Form to request approval to transfer credit from another institution.
Accept Grade in Plan Core: When School policy mandates a minimum grade in coursework required for your degree plan , you must submit a CPS Change Form to obtain approval for a variance from that policy.
Academic Record Change (ARC)
To change your major, you must complete the Academic Record Change (ARC) Form to notify the School of your intent. Submit this form in the Academic Advising Office for processing. The new program committee will then review your file and send you formal notification of the outcome of this review. In addition, if you have been previously denied admission into a degree plan, you must complete an ARC Form to merit a second review by the committee. To change your academic career (undergraduate to graduate, or non-degree-seeking to degree-seeking), you must file a new application for admission and pay the application fee.

Master's Option Course Enrollment Form
This form is for initial enrollment in a master’s option course (Thesis, Project, Internship or Residency). See your faculty advisor for details. The university requires continuous enrollment each long semester, with a grade of “In Progress” (IP) to be assigned each semester until completion. All students who receive an IP grade at the end of spring or fall will be automatically enrolled in 3 hours of the same master’s option course for the following long semester.
A reminder letter will be sent to all such students notifying them of this automatic enrollment and of the fee payment deadline. Automatic enrollment for master’s option courses will not be processed for summer semesters, or when an encumbrance exists that prevents registration. Students who wish to register for summer master’s option coursework should notify the Coordinator of Registration and Records at (281) 283-2537. Master's Option Course Enrollment
Incomplete Grade Contract
Incomplete Grade Policy: A student may receive a grade of Incomplete ("I") in a course if, for some justifiable reason acceptable to the instructor, the student has been unable to complete the full requirements of the course. The grade of "I" is not given in lieu of an "F", "WX", or other grade, each of which is prescribed for other specific circumstances. The maximum period of time for resolving this Incomplete is the last day of classes of the next long semester after the semester in which the "I" grade is received. If a grade change is not received prior to this deadline, the "I" will convert to a final grade of "F". Students should not re-register for courses in which they have received grades of Incomplete. If any portion of the course must be repeated, students must sign up as an auditor for the course and pay appropriate fees. Audit procedures can be found in the University Catalog.
