Step 2- Final Approval (After You Return):
Students must bring a course syllabus and a copy of their unofficial transcript to the MCB advisors after returning from the
program. Staff advisors will provide the necessary substitution paperwork and then refer you to the faculty advisor that gave
the pre-approval. Please note that most courses that go through the pre-approval process are accepted toward major
requirements as long as the content is similar to what was originally proposed and you earn a C or better in the course.
