Request to Change a Program
To change a graduate program after admission, the student must complete the Change of Graduate Degree Program/Advisor form and submit it to the School of Graduate Studies Office. Students must be matriculated and must meet any special requirements of the program to which they are seeking approval for a change. The student is responsible for submitting additional materials for acceptance, if required, to the graduate studies at the same time they submit the form. The form will be forwarded to the department that offers the requested program for a decision. The department may also assign conditions for admission.
If the change in program is approved, the student will be notified and assigned a new advisor. The student must then consult with the new advisor to develop a new planned program of graduate study for submission and approval. Subject to approval, course work completed prior to the change in program may be recommended for inclusion on the new planned program at the advisor's discretion.
