Denied - Requested major was not approved. Please contact the Major Department for rationale. PLEASE I NEED HELP !!! Changing from Compeng. to ITEC

Hey everyone,

As the title suggests, I've been trying to switch from Computer Engineering to ITEC (Information Technology) this fall. I submitted my request in winter 2024. My GPA was around 4.7, mainly due to a mistake in my Physics 1800 course. When I dropped the course earlier, the lab grade wasn't recorded properly. According to the course policy, you need to pass both the lecture and lab components separately. I had passed the lab, so it should have carried over when I retook the course in fall 2023. Unfortunately, due to an error from the faculty, the lab grade was lost, resulting in an E for the course and DESTROYING my GPA. 💀

Additionally, I got an E in Discrete Maths and a D+ in Biology that same semester(NOT MY BEST PERFORMANCE 😭). I managed to retake the lab component and requested the faculty to update my marks, which eventually brought my grade up to a C. I also got a B in ENG 1102, boosting my GPA to 5.26.

To switch to the Information Technology program, you need a GPA of 4, which I've met, but I still got denied. I really need this program change. I can't continue in Computer Engineering, wasting more years on courses I'm not able to handle, like Discrete Maths and Calculus. They're just not my thing anymore.

To be exact this is the program I was changing into - Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies, B.A., Information Technology - Keele

So, here I am, seeking advice. Has anyone been through something similar? What would you do in my situation? Is there any possibility I can still take ITEC courses? Any suggestions would be immensely helpful.

Thanks in advance!
