In a move aimed at providing students with greater academic flexibility, Hail University announced the possibility of modifying their major for students admitted for the academic year 1447 AH - 2025 AD. Students can now change their accepted major based on weighted grades and available seats until 11:59 PM on Monday, September 1, 2025.

Under the direction of the university's acting president, Dr. Zaid Mahlahal Al-Shammari, students have been given the option to "change their major" through the electronic academic system, allowing them to make the required changes without having to be on campus. This step contributes to facilitating the change process and providing students with more options based on their academic preferences.
How to apply
Hail University clarified in text messages sent to students that applications for major change are made electronically via the "Major Change" service on the academic system, without requiring students to physically visit the university. If the change request is accepted, the student will be notified via SMS that their application has been accepted. If the requested change is not made, the student will be able to apply for transfer after completing a full semester.
Transfer conditions
Regarding transfers after completing a semester, the university indicated that they will be based on the student's cumulative GPA. A specific number of seats are allocated to each college, and they are filled based on the highest GPA until the number is full. Colleges also set a minimum competitive GPA when transferring between different majors.
Through this initiative, Hail University seeks to provide a flexible academic environment that allows students the opportunity to make decisions more appropriate to their academic and professional future, while ensuring fairness in choosing majors based on academic performance and available opportunities.
