Degree Program Transition Request Form

The Degree Program Transition Request Form (PDF) is intended for master’s-level transitions, as well as from doctoral to master’s programs. Examples include switching formats within the same master’s program (e.g., MBA in-person to MBA online), changing to a different master’s, or declaring a master’s “en route” to a doctoral program to which you are already admitted.

This form cannot be used to transition to a higher degree level, such as moving from a certificate to a master’s or a master’s to a doctoral degree, or for adding a certificate. For those requests, you must submit an application for admission through the standard university process.

To proceed, complete this form and submit it to your new Graduate Program Director. The form will be routed through approvers and sent to the Registrar’s Office for processing. We strongly recommend you consult your faculty advisor before submitting this form. If you’re unsure your situation is appropriate for this form, contact your new Graduate Program Director or the Office of the Associate Provost for Graduate Studies for guidance.
