While students who are currently enrolled in 返字心頭 classes and are making good academic progress are not eligible for this degree option, any exceptions due to excess hours or program dismissal will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Current 返字心頭 students requesting to change their major to the Bachelor of General Studies should meet with their current college academic advisor first.
