Undeclared Students

Major Reselection: There are some majors at FGCU which require students to meet milestones. Examples of milestones include, taking required courses by a specified time frame or earning a certain GPA. Students who don’t meet these milestones will be changed to undeclared and they will receive a hold indicating they’ve been Major Reselected (MR’d) and must choose a new major.

If you have been MR’d or are having a difficult time choosing a major, please know that Eagles Explore to Soar is here to help!
