First Year Eng student
Hello,

Im am currently a first year engineering student. Its soon time to choose a discpline for next year and the only one that really interests me is civil. However, it sounds like a lot of people want to get into that and my last semester average was only a 6...i slacked off a lot. I am very worried I won't get civil as my first choice as that is the only one im passionate about. If I didn't get civil would there be any way of switching into it next year?

Thanks!

Yes you can switch but that probably requires a higher average at least 7. Work hard now and hope it pays off. Make a backup plan and rank other options ( you may find one you like more)
