  2. Meet with the departmental advisors for each of your intended major(s) and minor(s) to determine your eligibility to satisfactorily complete those programs. Individual academic departments may have specific requirements and restrictions for certain majors and minors.
  3. Request that an official copy of transcripts from other institutions be sent to the WMU Office of Admissions so that a credit evaluation can be completed.
