I think the earliest time for shifting is during the summer after the second sem of your first year. It's ok to shift that time since first year subjects are relatively the same anyway regardless of your course. In this case, Psych just lacks Math 19, which Mgt requires.

Make sure to ask around (the guidance office and SOM) for the requirements before the summer because the process is a bit long if you're shifting from one department to another.

for shiftees, one problem you might encounter is back subjects

back subjects - subjects you need to take because of shifting.
example: if your from management, you have to take up the subjects the engineering students have already taken up, which you havent.

usually, shifting in to sose courses from non-sose courses is quite hard since sose freshies have already majors, usually have ma18a&b and ma20/21 as their math (precalc and calc), and have higher/required natsci subjects. but there's always the summer term to catch up :D

It's always better to shift early on though.

I requested for a change of course before enrollment. Originally, my course was supposed to be Information Design but I'm an incoming Life Sciences freshman now.

I'm not really sure about some of your questions. The best place to ask about shifting is the Guidance Office. It's in the Social Sciences Building, 2nd floor.

If you're thinking about shifting this early, then you should go consult a guidance counselor as soon as possible so you won't have a hard time shifting. Maraming requirements yan eh, all of which have deadlines. It should help you decide whether shifting will be in your best interests or not as well.
