Change of Program
 
 
     
Students desiring to change their program of study must complete a Change of Program Form available in the Office of Admissions. The requirements for the new program will be checked against the student's test scores and/or former course work. Retesting and/or Learning Support course work may be required. Once the form is completed and approved, copies will be distributed to the appropriate department and the Office of Financial Aid. Program changes may significantly impact a student's educational and career goals. Students should discuss this change with their academic advisor prior to initiating the change process.

Career counselors are a valuable resource in assisting students with career choices. Students who are receiving benefits under student assistance programs (federal student aid, veteran's benefits) should discuss the possible impact of the change on the receipt of benefits. These programs have specific guidelines concerning changes of program. Not all credits earned under one program may necessarily apply to the new program. In some cases, changing programs may lengthen the time required to complete a program. The decision concerning transferability of credits is made by the receiving department head and the Registrar. Students must fill out a Request for Transfer Credit form and submit the form to the Registrar.
