Change My Major?
Transferring Within Your Current College
Students who wish to change majors within their current college must visit the Office of Student Services on the 2nd Floor of Prichard Hall.
Inter-College Transfer

The form is named Intercollege Transfer Form. Another option is to go to www.marshall.edu/advising and click on Intercollege Transfer Form from the Quick Links menu on the right side of the page. With the MyMU option it will auto fill the top of the page without any login information, but with the /advising option, you’ll be asked to complete a single stage login.

D/F Repeat?
If a student earns a grade of “D” or “F” (including failures due to regular and/or irregular withdrawal) on any course taken no later than the semester or summer term during which the student attempts the sixtieth semester hour, and if that student repeats this course prior to the receipt of a baccalaureate degree, the original grade shall be disregarded and the grade or grades earned [excluding a W] when the course is repeated shall be used in determining his/her grade point average. The original grade shall not be deleted from the student’s record.
[Whenever a student plans to repeat a course under the D/F Repeat Rule, he/she must fill out a form in the Office of Student Services early in the semester in which the course is repeated. The D/F Repeat Rule applies only to graduation requirements and not to requirements for professional certification which may be within the province of licensure boards, external agencies, or the West Virginia Board of Education.]Figure My GPA?
The following example is provided as a guide for calculation of the GPA:
First Semester
| Course | Grade | Quality Pts. | Credit Hrs. | Total Quality Pts. | ||
| ENG 101 | B | 3 | X | 3 | = | 9 |
| SOC 200 | A | 4 | X | 3 | = | 12 |
| MTH 121 | D | 1 | X | 3 | = | 3 |
| PE 115 | B | 3 | X | 1 | = | 3 |
| UNI 101 | CR | 0 | X | (1) | = | 0 |
| TOTAL | 14 | 35 |
Multiply the number of Quality Points for each grade by the number of Credit Hours for that class. Divide the total number of Quality Points for the semester (35) by the total number of Credit Hours (14). This yields a GPA of 2.50 for the semester.
Second Semester:
| Course | Grade | Quality Pts. | Credit Hrs. | Total Quality Pts | ||
| BSC 105 | D | 1 | X | 4 | = | 4 |
| ENG 102 | C | 2 | X | 3 | = | 6 |
| HST 101 | F | 0 | X | 3 | = | 0 |
| CMM 103 | D | 1 | X | 3 | = | 3 |
| PHL 201 | C | 2 | X | 3 | = | 6 |
| TOTAL | 16 | 19 |
Multiply the number of Quality Points for each grade by the number of Credit Hours for that class. Divide the total number of Quality Points for the semester (19) by the total number of Credit Hours (16). This yields a GPA of 1.18 for the semester.
To determine this student’s cumulative GPA (the GPA for both semesters), add the total Quality Points for both semesters (54) and divide by the total Credit Hours for both semesters (30), resulting in a 1.8 GPA.
Note that this cumulative GPA is under 2.00. Since it is less than 2.00, this student has a quality point deficiency. Her college will place her on academic probation and she will remain there until future grades eliminate the deficiency—grades of A and B will do this; grades of C have no effect and grades of D or F will make the deficiency worse.
Get a “HOLD” off my account?
When attempting to register for classes, you may see a message that states “You may not add or drop classes due to holds on your record.” In this case, you should click the “Student and Financial Aid” link in MILO and choose the “Student Records” option. Here you can view academic information, including any holds that have been placed on your account.
Click the “View Holds” link and the following information is listed:
Hold Type, From Date, To Date, Amount (if the hold is payment-related), Reason, Originator, and Processes Affected. Some of the information, such as the reason for the hold, may not display. Speak to your advisor regarding the best course of action if the hold is regarding academics.
Apply For Academic Forgiveness?
The academic forgiveness policy allows forgiveness of D and F grades for purposes of calculating the Grade Point Average (GPA) required for graduation. Grades disregarded for GPA computation remain on the student’s permanent record.
This policy is designed to help students who left college with low grades. It will be implemented, provided certain conditions are satisfied, where the D and F repeat rule is not applicable:
- The student must not have been enrolled on a full-time or part-time basis for more than 12 credit hours at any higher education institution for a period of five consecutive calendar years prior to the request for academic forgiveness.;
- only D and F grades received prior to the five year, non enrollment period can be disregarded for GPA calculation;
- in order to receive a degree or certificate, the student must complete at least 24 additional credit hours through actual coursework from Marshall University after the non enrollment period, earn at least a 2.0 GPA on all work attempted after the non enrollment period and satisfy all degree or certificate requirements.
This policy applies only to the calculation of the GPA required for graduation and does not apply to GPA calculation for special academic recognition (such as graduating with honors) or to requirements for professional certification which may be within the province of licensure boards, external agencies, or the West Virginia Board of Education.
Visit Forms – Registrar (marshall.edu) and navigate to the academic forgiveness tab. Click on the link and complete the online form to start the process.
Students should be aware that this policy is not necessarily recognized by other institutions of higher education outside the state of West Virginia.
Declare A Minor?
Marshall offers minors in a variety of subject areas. Once you have selected an area of study to minor in you should meet with an advisor from that department to ensure that you are able to meet all requirements. Include your minor on your Application for Graduation form.
Get A Medical Excuse?

Get A Course Overload?
