Change in Major
A student may change his or her major by completing a change form to be
obtained from the Office of the Registrar. This form must be signed by the student and
his or her adviser, then returned to the Office of the Registrar and approved by the
registrar prior to an official change of major.
Repeating a Course
A student may repeat a course to obtain a better grade. In those cases where credit
was earned, the higher grade earned is the only grade entered in the computation of the
grade point average, but the original course listing and grade will remain as part of the
academic transcript.
Students may repeat an ―F‖ grade without jeopardizing their financial aid.
Students who wish to repeat a course for which credit has been previously earned
should check with the Financial Aid office to ensure that repeating the course does not
jeopardize their financial aid eligibility.

ROTC
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC)
The Reserve Officer Training Corps Programs of the United States Army and Air
Force are available to Cazenovia College students. Both programs are designed to
produce junior officers (second lieutenants) for their respective service. Programs of
study vary from one to four years in length all leading to a commission.
Air Force ROTC
The Air Force ROTC Program is available to any Cazenovia College student and is
held at Syracuse University. The traditional program consists of four years of academic
and leadership courses, beginning in the freshman year. These courses are all taught at
Syracuse University, and the students are required to provide their own travel between
Cazenovia College and Syracuse to attend classes. Typically a Cazenovia student is only
required to travel to Syracuse University once per week. During the summer between
the sophomore and junior year, students are required to attend Field Training, a fourweek
military encampment that must be successfully completed to continue in Air Force
ROTC. Other programs, such as free-fall and rising sophomore program, combat
survival school, and jump school, are also available during the summer months, and are
all voluntary. While the four-year program is traditional, arrangements can be made for
sophomores and juniors who wish to join Air Force ROTC and seek a commission in
the Air Force.
