Transfers to a New Program
Students who have begun the coursework of one academic program and who wish to transfer to another program must seek permission from the program Dean/Chair. In order to obtain approval, all admissions requirements must be met for the program they wish to enroll in.

- Space in the program and seats in the appropriate courses must be available.
- All Satisfactory Academic Progress criteria must be met.
- Must be in good academic and financial standing with the University.
- Must occur at the beginning of a trimester/semester.*
- Must be submitted to the Program Dean at least six (6) weeks before the anticipated start of the new program/track.

Students should contact Student Affairs regarding eligibility under this policy.
*The start of a trimester/semester differs by student.
Impact of Program Transfers or Additional Degrees on Satisfactory Academic Progress for Undergraduate Students
Should a student be approved to transfer from one program of study to another or should a student wish to obtain an additional degree, attempted and completed coursework within the University will be treated as completed credits within the new program only if the courses pertain to the new program of study as outlined in the catalog. In such cases, attempted and completed credits will be considered in determining satisfactory academic progress from both a cumulative grade point average calculation and maximum allowable time frame perspective. The Registrar shall document in the student’s record those courses completed by the student that have been accepted for transfer to the new program.
