Description of Change

Policy Statement

This policy is to guide CCS Graduate students seeking to change programs at the graduate level. Graduate students wishing to transition into an undergraduate degree should seek further guidance from the Admissions team and their Academic Advisor.
This policy refers to procedures for changing graduate degree subject disciplines, changing modes of study, and changing from one Graduate degree type to another (i.e. MA to MFA; MFA to MA).

Reason for Policy

The is current no consistent guideline for faculty and staff to advise students seeking to transfer from one graduate program to another. This has been further compounded since the introduction of MA degrees in 2022.
