Students who are requesting a program change must submit a new application required for the new program of study. Students must meet admission requirements and complete all degree requirements in effect for the program of study at the time of admission to the new program. Admission is not guaranteed. The University will determine the conditions under which the student may enroll and will convey those conditions to the student. Any changes to a program may result in removal of an approved transfer concentration, emphasis, or minor.
Students using Military Tuition Assistance to fund their education must obtain permission from the Education Services Officer to change their program. When permission is obtained and the request is processed, an updated military degree plan will be reissued by the Office of the Registrar within 60 days.
Changes in programs or specializations may result in the reduction of applicable transfer credit and total earned credits towards the completion of the degree. A reduction in total earned credits may also result in a decrease in the amount of financial aid for which the student may be eligible. Students changing or adding a specialization in a Master’s or Doctoral degree program must do so prior to starting the final course in their program and may not elect more than one specialization. Students adding or removing a specialization may be required to complete a different set of core courses. To change or add a specialization, a student must submit an updated application and sign a new enrollment agreement. A change in program may require an evaluation of student's Satisfactory Academic Progress that may not be congruent with a standard SAP increment.
