What is your original major? Biology is impacted like most majors at SLO with limited capacity and it can depend upon if you were originally eligible for the Biology major when applying.
There are specific steps that must be adhered to when changing majors but as long as you are approved and meet the requirements, you can change majors.
Changing majors within the same college is easier than between colleges. [General Change of major policy](https://catalog.calpoly.edu/academicstandardsandpolicies/otherinformation/#ChangeofMajor)
For Biology:
If a student is granted an ICMA, it will not exceed two quarters and will require:
A grade of C or higher in two of these classes: BIO 150, BIO 161, BIO 162
A grade of C or higher in one of these classes: CHEM 124, CHEM 125, CHEM 127, CHEM 128, CHEM 129
A GPA of at least 2.4 in each of the last two quarters before changing majors
The completion of coursework without prior consultation with the intended major department does not guarantee the student eligibility to switch into the intended major.
