REQUEST FOR CHANGE IN GRADUATE PROGRAM

Graduate students who have been admitted to a graduate program may apply to change their program for one of the following reasons:

Change from one degree or certificate program to another degree or certificate program:

Under this option, students must meet the admission requirements of the new program. Enrollment in one graduate program does not guarantee acceptance into a new program. All deadline dates for application apply for students seeking a program change under this option. Keep in mind that different programs may have different requirements for standardized test scores and that official scores for any applicable test must be received prior to the granting of clear admission. Students who apply for a program change under this option and have not applied for graduation will be dropped from their current program.

Request admission to another degree or certificate program while maintaining enrollment in the current program (dual degree):

Under this option, students must meet the admission requirements of both programs. Enrollment in one graduate program does not guarantee acceptance into a second program. All deadline dates for application apply for students seeking a program change under this option. Again, keep in mind that different programs may have different requirements for standardized test scores and that official scores for any applicable test must be received prior to the granting of clear admission.

Change from non-degree to a degree or certificate program:

Under this option, students must meet the admission requirements of the degree or certificate program. Enrollment as a non-degree seeking student does not guarantee acceptance into a degree or certificate program. All deadline dates for application apply for students seeking a program change under this option. A maximum of 12 semester hours of coursework may be transferred from non-degree status to a degree or certificate program.

STEPS FOR CHANGING YOUR PROGRAM:

1. Complete Program Change application for Admission.

This form necessary to update and prepare the student’s registration information for the semester indicated on the application form. It must be received at least two weeks prior to registration dates. Please note: you cannot register until you have been accepted into you new program. Please notify the Graduate School Office if your registration plans change from that indicated on your application. Incomplete applications will not be processed.

2. Meet all of the Admission Requirements for the new program.

Enrollment in one graduate program does not guarantee acceptance into a new program.

3. All completed applications must be received by the Application Deadlines for the semester in which you wish to enroll.

Late or incomplete applications cannot be processed.

NOTE: Credentials submitted for admission purposes become the property of the Eastern Kentucky University. If the applicant does not enroll within one year, the admission file is destroyed unless the student contacts the Graduate School.
