This is Campus Informant advise on Change of Degree application form

I advise you to go for courses that are not too crowded with applicants and also perform very well in your first year 1st semester and second semester examination and CA. This will enable the department you are applying for to consider you due to your good performance.

After Switching to another department will you start from the 100 Level (1st Year) or 200 Level (2nd Year)?

After purchasing the change of degree form and being accepted Into the department you’re applied to, you might start in 100 Level (1st year) or 200 level (2nd year). If you want to start in 200 level make sure you borrow the courses that the other department you want to switch is offering. This means you will register your course and also two or more courses the other department you want to switch into is offering in 100 level. (Before you borrow any course do well to seek advice from your Academic Adviser)

But in a situation when your initial department and the Department you want to switch to is offering the same course then you shouldn’t borrow.
