Program Changes

A student may change curriculum or field of study of specialization only with the approval of the chair of the department the student wishes to enter. Change notifications are also sent to the chair of the student’s prior program. The student’s grade point average and the reasons for change will be assessed by the chair of the department into which the student is transferring.

Changes in program should be requested only after careful counseling and planning. All such changes require the completion of a “Change of Major” card that is available at the Student Enrollment Center. Changes to major/minors/ concentrations mean that the student is to follow the catalog requirements for that program based on the year of change. It is recommended that students request a program change before applying for graduation if applicable.

Specific professional programs, such as nursing and medical technology, are limited in the number of students who can be accommodated. Students planning to enter these fields should contact the appropriate department.
