Academic Program Approval

During registration, a student may request to change to a different curriculum program after classes start and before the 10% point of the term in order for that curriculum program to be valid for the current semester. After the 10% point, the student’s new program approval will be valid the following enrollment period.  This is important for VA students, as they may be ineligible for benefits if they are not currently taking classes listed on the curriculum program for which they are currently approved. Exceptions to this can be made by the Associate Vice President for Student Services.
