Declare Major or Minor

As outlined in the catalog, starting fall 2022, to declare the BS INFT students must:

• Earn a minimum C in (IT 106 or IT 196 or IT 109 or CS 112)
• Have an average of 3.0 across any courses attempted from (IT 102 or MATH 125), IT 104, IT 105, (IT 106 or IT 196 or IT 109 or CS 112), (IT 206 or IT 209 or CS 211), IT 216, IT 207, (IT 213 or IT 193), (IT 214 or IT 194), IT 223.

Notes:
Not all courses from this list must be completed prior to declaration. Attempted courses will be used to calculate the ITGPA for declaration. IT 293 and IT 300/400 level courses are restricted to declared majors.

As outlined in the catalog, to declare the IT minor students must:

• Earn a minimum C in (IT 106 or IT 196 or IT 109 or CS 112)
• Have an average of 2.50 across any courses attempted from (IT 102 or MATH 125), IT 104, IT 105, (IT 106 or IT 196 or IT 109 or CS 112), and any technical focus courses being applied to the IT minor. Grades in approved course substitutions taken at Mason will be included.

Notes: IT courses at the 300 and 400 level are restricted to students who have declared an information technology major, minor, or undergraduate certificate, and to students in the BAS or BIS program. IT 293 and IT 343 are restricted to students who have declared an information technology major. Students who have declared an information technology minor will not be permitted to take IT 293 or IT 343.

If a student has placed into MATH 108 or 113 or has completed MATH 105, MATH 106, STAT 250, or STAT 344, they do not need to coregister for or complete MATH 108/113 to take IT 102. To register for IT 102, they merely need to submit an override request form at IST.gmu.edu/go/override.

If a student is terminated from BS INFT/CEC they cannot declare the IT minor unless they have already completed all the requirements because once terminated they are no longer permitted to take CEC courses.

Students may use the GPA calculator to enter grades for courses they have completed to determine declaration eligibility of the BS INFT or IT minor.

1. GPA/grade requirements must be met and final grades must be posted on PatriotWeb.
2. Complete only the top section of the declaration form:
   1. Major Change/Declaration of Academic Program form.
   2. Minor: Minor Declaration
3. Submit the form to bsit@gmu.edu for advisor signature.
4. The form must be submitted before the first day of the selective withdrawal period listed on the Full Semester Calendar. See the Registrar's calendars for specific deadline dates.

The following Mason courses may be applied towards BS INFT requirements, provided a grade of C or better is earned.
