Change of Graduate Program
This form is to change a major, concentration, location or delivery mode within the same college/school/unit. It may
not be used to change to a program in a new college/school. This form can also be used to change to a lower or
lateral degree level (for example, from a doctoral degree to a master’s degree or from a master’s degree to a
certificate). Students wishing to change to a higher degree or certificate level must submit a new application for
admission to that degree or certificate program. Read the full policy here. The academic department reserves the
right to request that the student submit a full application for admission, including the application fee.
If you are a new student in your current program and the term has not yet begun, please reach out to the admissions
office for your program to request a change of graduate program.
