25 Term Change Request for New Students

If you have been fully admitted to a program and have circumstances that prevent you from starting the semester, you may submit a term change request. Please note that a term change request must be made before the first day of the semester that you were initially admitted to be considered.

There is a three-step process:

1. You email your advisor to request a term change. You must include a reason for the request (term change requests that are voluntary or based merely on preference will not be considered).
2. If the program agrees that a term change is in the best interest of the student and program then the program submits the request to the Graduate School.
3. The Graduate School Admissions Office reviews the term change request – either approving or denying it. The Graduate School will consider all requests for a term change on a case by case basis going forward from Fall 2022.
