Change of Degree Objective (CODO)

Change of Degree Objective (CODO) means to transfer from one curriculum to another
within the University. CFS welcomes CODO students, and we are eager to attract students
who are truly interested in our majors. If you are considering a CFS major other than Hospitality and Tourism Management (HTM) or Selling and Sales Management (SSM), at your earliest convenience, please make an appointment to meet with a CFS academic advisor in STON 110 by calling (765) 494-8533. Students interested in either HTM or SSM, please note the application deadlines and information regarding required CODO meetings.

All CFS students are expected to:

• fulfill all requirements for graduation
• honor prerequisites and course sequencing
• honor course enrollment limits; accepting the fact that if a class is full or restricted to students who are currently in the major, they will have to postpone their enrollment to another semester

We will be happy to work with each prospective CODO student to develop a REALISTIC plan of study. Upon receipt of this plan of study, we expect each student to decide if this plan fits his/her timeline for graduation.
