Change of Major, help pls
Just finished the Assessment Year at HSG, registered for VWL (Economics) major by the June 30 deadline. Classes start Sept 14 and I now want to switch to BWL (Business Administration) before the semester starts.
The Studiensekretariat told me it's too late — that major changes are only possible after the first semester. But the actual regulation (Ausführungsbestimmungen II.B.2.03, Art. 3.3.c) says major changes are possible at the start of either semester, with the Master-level restriction they're citing not applying to Bachelor students.
Has anyone successfully switched majors before the semester started, or dealt with this June 30 deadline issue? Any advice on who to escalate to (Studienberatung, Ombudsstelle, student association) would be really appreciated.
